Static stress calculations for dock structures considering wall-backfill interaction
Conclusions The suggested method for static calculations of dock structures considers the entire structure and enables us to take into account the interaction between the wall and the backfill. The method admits of variable stiffness for foundations and structural elements.The calculations aim at formulating and solving a system of standard linear equations, and the procedure for forming the system is sufficiently simple for practical application in engineering designs.Calculations show that for wide, flat structures of modern dry docks, wall-backfill interaction has considerable influence even for relatively low walls (when compared to sluices). The wall behavior has a significant influence on foundation deformations. This influence is greater as the relative foundation stiffness increases.Results of calculations for determining the total lateral pressure on dock walls (Fig. 2c) qualitatively agree with the field observation data on sluice walls [7, 8, 10]; the pressure considerably increases in comparison to the Coulomb method and the pressure diagram centroid shifts upwards.
