The Port of Los Angeles Seismic Code Update for Container Wharves
Publication: Ports 2019: Port Engineering
ABSTRACT
In 2004, the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) adopted The Port of Los Angeles Code for Seismic Design, Upgrade and Repair of Container Wharves (POLA Seismic Code 2004) as the seismic code for container wharf structures. The POLA Seismic Code 2010 provided updates and revisions to the POLA Seismic Code 2004 and included changes in seismic design requirements to reflect conclusions of experimental research and technical studies conducted since its original publication. The Port intends to continuously update the POLA Seismic Code to keep pace with state of the art and practice design updates, and construction practices. This paper discusses the purpose, objective, and outline of the upcoming POLA Seismic Code 2020.
