Fragility Analysis of Pile-Supported Wharves and Piers Exposed to Storm Surge and Waves

Ports are located in areas often susceptible to storm surge and flooding from severe storms as well as the potential impacts of climate change, such as sea level rise. Although there is a significant body of work addressing the vulnerability of ports subjected to earthquakes, models that support risk assessment of ports subjected to storm surge and waves from coastal hazards, including hurricanes, are scarce. This study presents a methodology …
