Finally, according to the latest development planning, the paper forecasts the future annual cargo throughput of ports, and proposes several views and suggestions on the development and construction of coastal ports.

Abstract:Since the“ Eleventh Five-year Plan”, water transportation engineering construction in China has been developing vigorously, with a clear trend of“ diversification of investment sources and forms, upsizing of construction, and complication of project management”. The upsizing and complication of engineering make it hard to meet the construction targets of water transportation project construction by working with the traditional simple project-organization mode. The new project management mode which is fit for the characteristics of water transportation engineering shall be studied and established to improve the project management performance. By the professional management technique, management method and management procedure of the new mode, we can realize systematic and integrated project management and reach the objective of the project.

Abstract:It is very difficulty to check the wounds of piles and it will take long time to repair it if the piled foundation was harmed or failed in earthquake. The hard work and the high cost for strengthening piles will also delay the reconstruction and even block its recover, that’s why many countries are paying more and more attention to seismic resistance reserves of piled foundation. Unfortunately this idea has not yet been completely accepted by our civil engineering so as to lead the bridge piled foundation weaker, the reserves of piled foundation is generally less than the piers. This paper analyzes and explaines the influence of the seismic resistance reserves of piled foundation on the safety of bridge by showing the principles, comparing the bar arrangement of typical piers and piles, and analyzing the sample bridges in China and Japan by non-liner pushover analysis.

Abstract:Along with the leapfrog development of water transportation industry, excellent port sites are less and less, so the new ports tend to be built in the areas with strong wave and deep water. So it is an important issue to seek a way of guaranteeing the port operation conditions for the port construction in the new period. Huaneng Haimen power plant was built in the odious conditions. Although the original layout used the double surrounding breakwater, it can’t meet the berthing demand. By optimizing the axis of the breakwater, the structure of the breakwater head and the partial excavation, the wave height inside the basin reduces prominently, and thus meets the demands of port operation.

Abstract:The effective width of breakwater entrance and its dimensions are clearly defined in the current design code. However, with the enlargement of ships, some existing breakwater entrances can hardly meet the code-specified navigation requirements. Furthermore, the practice shows that, under some certain sailing conditions, the appropriately reduced effective width of breakwater entrance is able to meet the requirements of safe navigation. On the basis of a project instance, this paper studies relevant specifications and main impact factors of effective width of breakwater entrance, and gives some proposals on methods for determining the effective width of breakwater entrance.

Abstract:The impact force of mooring ships under the action of waves is often the control load of large open wharf design. The value of large ships calculated by the current standard formula is much smaller than the model test value, mainly because the Cm value, the influence coefficient of ship additional water, is too small. Increasing the fund of code revision is recommended in order to use the measured parameters to determine Cm value.

Abstract:In Egypt Port Said Container Terminal Phase II, the wharf structure with pile and diaphragm wall was successfully applied, and the three-dimensional finite element method was adopted for the structure calculation under the consideration of the pile-soil interaction. The structural internal force was by the modified vertical elastic foundation beam method, and the overall stability calculation took the cut-off pile power into consideration. The project design was innovative in both the structural type and the .calculation method. The wharf structure with pile and diaphragm wall is between the pile and diaphragm wall, and is more suitable for medium-large terminal structures with thick soft soil and favorable land construction conditions.

This type of revetment structure is built on soft foundation, its foundation deformation characteristics has a great difference with that of the vertical type. In addition, the loading method and size is controlled strictly in soft foundation. Based on field loading test and on-site monitoring of foundation deformation of the semi-vertical hydraulic revetment, we compare and analyze the foundation settlement in different field test conditions and discuss the settlement and failure mode of the foundation.

Abstract:With the declining of excellent shorelines and the gradual functioning of the Three Gorges, the traditional piles frame cannot ensure the function and safety in the high-backfilled slope in the mountainous regions of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. To solve this problem, we introduce the gravity pier in the engineering project r. According to the calculation results of the finite element analysis software ADINA, gravity piers foundation frame has better reliability and safety than the traditional piles frame. In this paper, we summarize the engineering works of a wharf project in the mountainous area upstream of the Yangtze River, hoping to provide a reference for similar works.

Abstract:The number of mooring lines of large vessels is determinate and hard to increase. So it is always difficult to satisfy the requirement to restrict the vessel by existing mooring lines in some hard weather. The quick release pulley which was used in a large oil wharf can strengthen the restriction to vessels without increasing the mooring lines. The quick release pulley have many other functions similar to those of quick release hooks, also it has a wide application prospect.

Abstract:Replacing the original oil generation, the on-shore power supply for vessels reduces greatly the emission of waste gas from the berthing vessels and the pollution to the environment. Thus the replacement is an effective way for realizing energy saving and emission reduction, and building “green ports”. This paper analyzes the application and development of the on-shore power supply technology, and discusses the key technical issues in the application.

Abstract:The layout of a navigation-power junction must satisfy firstly relevant requirements of vessels passing through the dam. The layout of locks is the main factor of site selection and layout of the dam. Through some cases studies, the general requirements of site selection and layout of navigation dam are summarized. Both the straight reach and the curved reach in a river could be selected to arrange the navigation dam. The layout can be divided into two types: One is the concentrated layout and the other is the separated one. The focus of the former arrangement is the influence of discharge flow from the hydropower station and spillway on the lock, while the focus of the separated arrangement is the layout of the entrance area connecting the access channel to the lock and the river.

The ESB-based as well as SOA-based survey and design enterprises application integration framework enables to join the enterprise information system, business data and business process perfectly, to solve the problem of the “isolated-island” information system of the prospecting and design enterprise effectively, and to improve the efficiency and coordination of the enterprise.

Abstract:The“direct vacuum preloading method for ground treatment” is developed on the base of the general vacuum preloading method. This method cancels horizontal drainage sand cushion and connects drainage board with sealed pipe network directly. The energy can be transmitted into the bottom of drainage board without decrement. The efficiency of vacuum energy is improved. This paper illustrates the soft ground reinforcement effect and the economic efficiency of direct vacuum preloading method for ground treatment with test results of five representative test areas in China. The test results show that the direct vacuum preloading method for ground treatment can reinforce different kinds of soft ground efficiently and economically.
