(draft) Seismic Design of Piersand Wharfs. The layout of the marina has been established since the structure is an actual marina(not in a high seismic zone) designed by the lead author. Figure 1 shows a plan view of themarina. Figure 2 shows a section through a typical finger pier. Only schematic drawings will begiven to the students and the students will be required to design for all loads including: • Dead • Live • Earthquake Page 12.1261.3 • Wind • Current • ImpactAll environmental loading other than seismic will be determined using MOTEMS4. Detailing ofthe structure will be in accordance with ACI 3186 and AASHTO LRFD
