Some Geotechnical Aspects of Harbor Structures in Karst Formations
In some of the Portuguese harbors, geology is characterized by alternating layers of limestone and marls, the so-called karstification. This paper presents two case studies regarding the geotechnical aspects of harbor structures founded in karst formations. The first case refers to the reinforced concrete piles of a quay wall founded in karst limestone. The second case discusses some problems related to the execution of an anchored retaining wall and the way it was used to guarantee that the bond length was not in a karst zone.
