Executive Summary | It is reported that huge impulsive forces are acting repeatedly on such port structures as breakwaters consisting of concrete caissons, resulting in ultimate failure of concrete members. In the present design of such concrete structures, impulsive forces, which have large variations with regard to time and space, are converted equivalently to simple distribution of static loads in order to compare to load carrying capacity of structures in static conditions. Therefore, it is one of the problems that scatters of impulsive forces and dynamic behavior of structures is not taken into account. It is necessary to establish an integrated design method of port concrete structures subjected to repeated impact loads. And it is necessary to examine measures to improve impact resistant capacity that is applicable to port structures. |
