Seismic Rehabilitation of Timber Structures
Publication: TCLEE 2009: Lifeline Earthquake Engineering in a Multihazard Environment
Abstract
This paper discusses the seismic assessment and rehabilitation of timber structures. The author and his colleagues have inspected and strengthened timber trestles and dolphins for marine oil terminals and bulk handling piers and wharves. We have inspected and assessed several timber structures and developed alternative repair designs that allow the structures to meet the required operational and seismic demands. The design process is discussed and includes: seismic analyses, seismic strengthening, and geotechnical constraints. The paper also includes some lessons learned and pitfalls to avoid for future rehabilitation projects.
