Presenting Design Criteria for Pile and Deck Structures (According to Seismic Design Guidline for Port Structure (PIANC))

Abstract eng:
In recent decade, considerable efforts, endeavors and researches have been made subject to review of dominant criteria and code on structures seismic Design that all of which focus mainly on structure behavior and operation in earthquake. These efforts causes for presenting new philosophy in design known as “performance-based design". Seismic Design Guideline for port structure (PIANC) is the first instruction performance based design on operation. One of the main discussions in this design method is presenting design criteria in different performance level for evaluation of structures. Quality and quantity criteria such as deformation, stress and ductility are including criteria that named in this book. In technological literature, other criteria including relative deformation, permanent relative deformation, damages and energy index also are including in this part. In this article, we want to analysis and design number of common pile and deck structure with use of seismic design guideline for port structure (PLANC). In this regard, structure seismic behavior and extent of incurred damages were taken into consideration and named criteria including energy index, damage index, length of plastic hinge, permanent deformation and ductility in different stages were analysis and designed. Results showed that there is opportunity for compilation of performance criteria for design of pile and deck structures.
