Case Study of Structure Inspection of Old Piled Wharf
The coastal ports in China have been developing rapidly in more than 40 years of reform and opening,but a series of structure problems related to old docks emerges gradually.Therefore,the inspection and evaluation of old docks become increasingly important.According to the relevant provisions in Technical Specification for Inspection and Evaluation of Marine Structures in Waterway Transport Engineering and Guidelines for Safety Inspection and Evaluation of Port&Wharf Structures,two old piled wharves constructed in different periods were selected,the conventional inspection methods and measuring means were used to determine key inspection points,and the inspection results were compared.By analyzing the cause for the damage of old piled wharves in Shanghai,reasonable advice was proposed,which might provide a reference for similar inspection work.
