Abstract

This paper aims to describe the earthquake and geotechnical aspects of design of the Zagreb Pier Container Terminal Project in Rijeka. This new facility will increase the compet- itiveness of Rijeka as a port City, realizing a new quay with a total length of 680 m (to be achieved in two phases). The new structure is conceived as a semi-open quay, realized with precast caissons laying on a submerged embankment. The characteristics of the foundation soil are particularly severe, on site, due to the presence of a thick layer of soft cohesive soils, overlaying a rocky substratum. A soil improvement was therefore carried out by executing stone columns and jet- grouting. As part of design a Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Study (PSHA) was carried out, to overcome possible limitations of code spectra and 3D non-linear dynamic analyses in the time domain were developed to precisely asses seismic actions
