The Design of Piers, Jetties, and Dolphins
This paper deals with the design of piers, jetties, and dolphins with particular reference to the lateral loads from berthing ships which these structures must withstand. Design principles are examined, and two examples of pier design are reviewed: (a) Guayacan Bay Pier, Chile (built for Bethlehem Chile Iron Mines) and (b) Hoboken Pier “C”, Hoboken, N. J. (built for the Port of New York Authority). The paper shows how the impact energy of a berthing ship may be absorbed by the elastic deformation of the structure, without the need for any special system for spring fend ering.
