In view of the structural design of a small emergency berth engineering wharf in Panjin，we consider the natural conditions of the area where the project is located and the characteristics of the design ship types for the wharf，and determine the wharf structure and pile foundation suitable for the project according to the domestic codes and previous engineering experience. We also summarize the key structural design points for small wharves in areas with large tidal ranges，various ship types，large seismic inertia forces，and severe ice conditions. The results show that the high-piled beam-slab wharf has better adaptability to shallow sandy geology. The steel pipe pile foundation with multiple fork piles can meet the requirements of wharves for load-bearing capacity and seismic and ice resistance. The double-layer mooring platform is equipped for the safe mooring of different types of ships in the case of large water level differences. The ice load can be effectively withstood by an angular shape on the ice-facing surface of the prefabricated walkway slab of the lower mooring platform.
