Abstract:

Design standards for structural steel dolphins in cohensionless soils discuss soil characteristics, dolphin loads, rated capacities, and structural behavior for single and multiple-pile dolphins. Examples of design for rated force and energy capacities are given, together with the steel grades and stress levels, pile spacing and embedment lengths. Author
