Design of Quay Walls using the Finite Element Method: The importance of relieving structures in quay walls

This MSc thesis focuses on two types of quay walls, namely the anchored quay wall without relieving structure and the quay wall with relieving structure. In the case of high retaining heights the anchored quay wall mostly consists of a combined sheet pile wall, which means that the wall is composed by tubular steel members that are connected by...
