Gravity quay wall is a kind of commonly used wharf structure.How to effectively control the post-construction settlement of gravity quay wall is very important to ensure the quality of wharf construction.This paper introduces the differences between the Chinese and English standard in the settlement control of gravity wharf.Taking Phase IV project at the port of Saudi Arabia as an example,this paper presents a method of gravity wharf settlement control based on the combination of the Chinese and English standard.The theoretical calculation based on finite element method and field observation test are carried out,which agree well with the field observation data.Settlement control method for gravity quay wall based on combination of the Chinese and British standard can guarantee the construction quality and shorten the construction period,and has good implementation.
