Stability Analysis of Gravity Quay walls – Case Study, TebenPort

Gravity quay walls are a common type of structures in construction of small ports. However these types of quay wall are relatively cost effective and easy to perform, but because of their considerable weight, there are some problems due to the stability of their foundation. In the region with high seismic activity, the problems due to stability of these types of quay wall will be pronounced, mainly because of enhancement in the soil lateral pressure behind walls aswell as the effect of hydrodynamic forces. In this paper at first the design concepts of this type of quay walls will be reviewed and after that the constructed gravity quay wall in Teben Port in southern Iran will be introduced and discussed
