Seismic Response of Container Cranes and Effects on Wharf Response and Crane Structure Performance

ABSTRACT

Adequate seismic performance of marine container terminals is critical to supply chain resilience. Seismic response of cranes and wharves and their performance are key factors in the seismic performance of a container terminal. This paper will provide a basic understanding of the following: seismic performance of container cranes and contributing factors; concepts for designing new cranes and retrofitting existing cranes to improve seismic performance; seismic performance of wharves; how container cranes and wharves interact and respond in earthquakes and factors.
