Introduction

Background of standard integration and technological evolution

The 2018 version of the standard integrates 9 old standards and for the first time incorporates new structures such as lattice steel sheet pile wharfs into the standard system. The technological evolution is mainly reflected in:

Technical fieldOld specificationJTS 167-2018
Pile foundation designDispersed in 5 specificationsUnified bearing capacity calculation formula
Seismic requirementsSome specifications are missingFully connected with JTS 146
Durability standardsAnti-corrosion requirements are not unifiedDetailed environmental zoning standards

Core requirements of mandatory provisions

3.1.2.1 stipulates that the design service life of permanent terminals must reach 50 years, and that of temporary terminals must reach 5-10 years. A 100,000-ton container terminal project was ordered to be reworked because it did not meet the standards.

Article 4.1.3 requires that pile foundations must undergo the following:

  • Concrete pile crack resistance verification (crack width ≤ 0.2mm)
  • Horizontal deformation control of flexible mooring piles (displacement ≤ 50mm)

Key technologies for structure selection

Chapter 3.3 of the specification specifies the applicable conditions for six types of docks:

  1. High-pile dock: Applicable to sinkable pile foundations, with cast-in-place piles extended to rock foundations
  2. Sheet pile dock: Clay/sand foundations are preferred, with rock surface burial depth > 5m
  3. Grid steel sheet piles: Foundation bearing capacity required ≥ 150kPa

Breakthrough in pile foundation design

Chapter 4 System Specifications Three Pile Types:

Pile TypeBearing Capacity CalculationSpecial Requirements
Prefab Concrete PileQuk=Qsk+QpkLifting Verification Bending Moment
Steel Pipe PileConsider Wall Thickness ReductionCorrosion Protection Life ≥ 30 Years
Rock-embedded PilesRock Uniaxial Compressive Strength VerificationRock-embedded Depth ≥ 2D

Implementation Suggestions and Common Problems

Typical problem: A project ignored the influence of slope deformation in Article 4.1.5, resulting in excessive displacement of pile foundation

Solution:

  • Perform geological radar detection before construction (Article 4.1.8 of the specification)
  • Use the horizontal force calculation method in Appendix B of the specification
  • Set monitoring points to control displacement
