Parameter Sensitivity Analysis of the Seismic Response of a Piled Wharf Structure

To investigate the seismic response characteristics of piled wharf structures, a numerical model of the soil-structure interaction system is established. Extensive fiducial error and grey correlation analyses are also conducted to obtain the grey correlation degree sequence of the internal force of piled wharf structure and deformation, as well as the acceleration of surrounding soils. The results show that the peak acceleration at the typical point of the soil is more sensitive to the variations in friction angle and ground motion intensity, while the lateral extreme displacement is the most sensitive to the variations in the elastic modulus of the soil. The grey correlation sequences of the peak acceleration and lateral extreme displacement at the feature points of the soil around the pile greatly vary, indicating that the key factors of the different sequences control the target parameters corresponding to them. The sensitivity of the internal force of the pile foundation of the pier structure to the ground motion intensity and friction angle is more sensitive than the elastic modulus and cohesion. This presented parameter sensitivity analysis procedure for the seismic response of piled wharf structures can provide a reference for the seismic design of piled wharf structures, as well as for disaster prevention prediction.
