The Port of Los Angeles Commentary to the Code for Seismic Design, Upgrade and Repair of Container Wharves
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The scope of application of this code is limited to some of the economically most important structures in the Port of Los Angeles. Marine structures which are subject to different technical parameters (piers), to different operational requirements (dolphins) and/or are subject to different jurisdiction (crude oil loading and unloading platforms, wharves supporting buildings that have a substantial public hazard due to occupancy or use or wharves supporting essential facilities) are excluded.

Education Level and Self-rated Health in the United States: Immigrants’ Diminished Returns
Introduction: Although education is among the major socioeconomic status (SES) resources that influence populations’ and individuals’ health, social marginalization may reduce the health gain that follows access to SES indicators such as education, a pattern called marginalization-related diminished return (MDR). The literature on MDRs, however, has been mainly derived from stu...
متن کاملImprovement of Iranian Seismic Design Code Considering the Near-Fault Effects
Characteristics of ground motions close to the earthquake source can be considerably different from those of far-field motions which should be considered in design process of structures. The current study aimed to present new design response spectra for Iranian seismic design code taking into account the near-fault effects. For this purpose, a new attenuation relation based on the ground motion...

There are significant number of pile supported wharves around the world and this type of structures are commonly chosen for the construction of new waterfront port facilities. Batter piles have been used for a long time to resist large lateral loads from winds, water waves, impacts and earthquake. Their distinct advantage over vertical piles is that they transmit the applied lateral loads p...
