Underwater Facilities Inspections and Assessments at Philadelphia Naval Shipyard, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Volume 1.

Abstract

The Eastern Seawall was found to be in stable condition. In the past, possibly just following construction, there was some movement of the wall. This condition has apparently stabilized. We recommend that no change in the present live-load capacity of 0-PSF be made. If Shipyard Personnel desire an upgrading of the capacity of the seawall, we would recommend the placement of riprap along the south face of the seawall. Also in the portion of the seawall which is constructed of stone, there is a problem of the mortar between the stones being eroded away.
