Abstract
The hydrodynamic force generated by the interaction between deep-water pier and water under earthquake exerts a significant influence on the dynamic response of the pier. At present, there is a lack of characterization methods to measure the influence degree of pier-water interaction on the dynamic response of the deep-water pier. Based on the structural dynamics theory and considering the coupling effect of pier-water interaction, the dynamic equilibrium equations for the deep-water pier under earthquake are established, and the solutions are deduced and validated by the finite element simulation results. Then the comprehensive analysis of influence mechanism is conducted. Further, the displacement influence coefficients and internal force influence coefficients are proposed to evaluate the influence degree of hydrodynamic force on dynamic response of deep-water piers. Validation shows that the proposed coefficients have high accuracy, indicating the important application of the proposed coefficients in seismic design of deep-water piers in real practice.
