Berthing structures are constructed in coastal areas to accommodate the berthing and mooring of vessels. Tie rod anchors are provided in such structures in order to improve their performance and reduce deflection of the structure. In this study, various types of berthing structures (open and closed) were analysed with and without tie rod anchors. This paper presents the experimental results and their validation with numerical and analytical values. Further parametric studies were carried out to analyse the effect of tie rod anchors. The results imply that there is a considerable effect on the depth of fixity of the piles in open-type berthing structures when tie rod anchors are provided, whereas there is not much effect in closed-type berthing structures when tie rod anchors are provided.

拉杆锚对靠泊结构性能的影响

靠泊结构建在沿海地区，以适应船舶的靠泊和系泊。在这种结构中提供拉杆锚固件以提高它们的性能并减少结构的偏转。在这项研究中，对使用和不使用拉杆锚的各种类型的靠泊结构（开放式和封闭式）进行了分析。本文介绍了实验结果及其数值和解析值的验证。进行了进一步的参数研究以分析拉杆锚的效果。结果表明，在开放式靠泊结构中，设置拉杆锚对桩的固定深度有相当大的影响，而在封闭式靠泊结构中，设置拉杆锚对桩的固定深度影响不大。
