Numerical analysis of the effect of vibroflotation in the vicinity of a deep-water quay wall

The paper describes an attempt to include the effect of vibroflotation on the quay wall in the numerical analysis. An axisymmetric FEM model was made, in which the increment of pressure on the steel wall, caused by initiated horizontal displacement, was checked. The stress read off in this way has been implemented in the plane strain model of the quay wall. The results of the internal forces and deformations are presented. The displacements were collated with the geodetic survey
