Numerical Modeling of Sheet Pile Quay Wall Performance Subjected to Earthquake
In this study, the sheet pile quay wall’s performance under seismic load was investigated using numerical modeling (Plane-strain model). This research aims to examine the stability of anchored sheet pile quay walls and evaluate the performance and efficiency of using an additional part of sheet pile quay walls under seismic loads. Dimensions of the geometry model were used based on previous studies. Also, the cohesionless soil (sandy soil) in the foundation and backfill layers was using. The output results for the numerical modeling were displacement and acceleration curves. Successfully, dynamic analysis is conducted using the PLAXIS-2D program. The results demonstrated that a dynamic load significantly influences the sheet pile quay wall, and using additional parts of the quay wall is very useful to decrease displacements. The decrease in displacement is 49.5% and 46.5% for horizontal and vertical displacement, respectively. The result showed the additional part led to decreased the values of acceleration about 19% for a point located at the top of the sheet pile and about 29.6% for a point located at the end of the sheet pile.
