Analysis and Design of Pile Foundation of Cruise Terminal
Publication: Deep Foundations 2002: An International Perspective on Theory, Design, Construction, and Performance
Abstract
The cruise industry is a growing market in the United States. In order to accommodate safely today's largest cruise ships and foreseeable ships of the future, such as the Worlds City, cruise terminal design should take into consideration berthing, hurricane and earthquake loading if the site is in an active seismic zone. Because a cruise terminal is a special waterfront structure different from bridges and buildings, there is no national unified code for analysis and design. UBC and AASHTO codes are generally used. However, due to the complexity of the analysis procedure involving berthing, wave impact and seismic loading, design of cruise terminals is a challenge to engineers. This paper discusses the analysis and design procedures of a typical cruise terminal. Guidelines and construction details are described.
