Abstract
Steel sheet piles are amongst the most common kinds of quay walls used in the construction of port and harbor facilities. These are used most often for the birth of small crafts that have limited dimensions and capacity. An increasing number of berths require upgrades because of the growing market in marine traffic around the world, as well as continuously increasing dimensions and vessel capacities. A number of methods can be used to increase the steel sheet pile wall’s load-carrying capacity, including the use of double sheets with intermediate tie rods. This case study aims to evaluate the use of PLAXIS 3D to check system safety and to ensure sufficient capacity to withstand seismic design forces.
