MOP 129 provides guidelines for the determination of safe mooring design practices for vessels at fixed piers and wharves in ports and harbors.

A spread sheet program is presented for estimating safe mooring limits for ships at piers and wharves. This spreadsheet uses moorings of U.S. Navy surface ships to calibrate an optimum ideal mooring and determine mooring efficiency.

Standard ASCE/COPRI 61-14 uses displacement-based design methods to establish guidelines for the design of piers and wharves to withstand the effects of earthquakes.

Introductory technical guidance for civil and marine engineers and construction managers interested in design and construction of wharves and piers. Here is what is discussed: 1. PLANNING 2. DESIGN LOADS 3. STRUCTURAL DESIGN 4. FENDER SYSTEMS 5. CAMELS, SEPARATORS AND ACCESS 6. MARINE FUELING FACILITIES.

John Gaythwaite covers the design of marine structures for the berthing, mooring, and repair of vessels, including piers, wharves, bulkheads, quaywalls, dolphins, dry docks, floating docks, and various ancillary structures.
