About this document
Longitudinal Strength of Pier Design by Barry Richard is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes the design of a pier in both the longitudinal and transverse directions. In the longitudinal direction, hydrostatic pressure and earthquake forces were calculated to result in total horizontal forces of 81972.9 lbs. Shear stress calculations showed the pier is adequately strong. In the transverse direction, three loading cases were considered: high water level with earthquake, earthquake on the pier and gate, and hydrodynamic forces. The maximum total overturning moment was calculat
