Abstract
- The article presents a study regarding the earthquake damage on the gravity quaywall. The study outllined the three cases in which the discussion of the third case is presented for the kinematics of the deformed submerged backfill. The study surveyed the Taichung Harbour in Taiwan and used the shaking-table tests. Results of the surveys and shaking-table tests were analyzed to explain the failure mechanism in the lateral displacements of gravity quaywalls during earthquake.
