Application of Prepacked Aggregate Concrete Technology in Gravity Wharf Reinforcement

To improve the production capacity, a special area of the wharf’s working face is needed for production and shipment at the construction field of Offshore Oil Engineering (Qingdao, China) Co., Ltd. However, the load acted on the working face increases too much and the bearing capacity of the wharf structure is insufficient. In comprehensive consideration of the construction quantity, period and cost, and to make full use of the present structure, the prepacked aggregate concrete technology is applied to reinforce the rubble-mound foundation and the caissons. With significant improving of the load-carrying capacity, the wharf is available for the new production process. The practical application shows that the technology can be applied to the reinforcement of the gravity wharf. And for very good effect and lots of advantages, it is worth to be widely applied.
