To increase the horizontal resistance of vertical pile wharf structure and avoid the difficulty in piling，we explore the possibility of using a new vertical pile wharf structure with horizontal braces based on comparative calculations. Adding the horizontal bracing between the vertical piles to form an interconnected structure，we can remarkably improve the overall rigidity of the structure to make up for the lack of horizontal load resistance of the vertical pile. Meanwhile，we avoid the difficulty in piling. The research result may serve as reference for the scheme selection in similar regions.
