Abstract:This paper investigates the problems in the application and construction of concrete berthing members currently used in the wharf.To meet the design requirements of the fully prefabricated high-pile wharf, this paper proposes a closed steel berthing member, corresponding durability measures, and a structural health monitoring scheme by combining the functions of concrete berthing members and fender aprons.Adopting a sealing structure, this berthing member consists of a face plate, a back plate, and longitudinal and transverse rib plates.Its direct installation on the wharf apron by embedded bolts can overcome the difficulties in the installation and construction of berthing members, raise construction safety, and improve construction efficiency.
