Prestressed Concrete Fender Piles: Fender System Designs
Abstract
Designs for prestressed concrete fender piles for use at navy piers in a wide range of fendering applications are presented. Two types of fender piles are discussed: an energy absorbing fender pile for use with camels and a reaction fender pile for use with foam-filled fenders. Complete fender system designs incorporating either timber or steel wales with the baseline energy- absorbing prestressed concrete fender piles, as a new class of fender pile to resist the reaction from foam-filled fenders, are presented. Design aids are given in the form of easy-to-use graphs. Design examples are also presented.
