DESIGN CRITERIA FOR PIER AND WHARF CONSTRUCTION: INCLUDING SUBSIDIARY, CONTIGUOUS, AND AUXILIARY STRUCTURES

by RED DOT PUBLICATIONS

This manual contains descriptions and design criteria for pier and wharf construction, including subsidiary, contiguous, and auxiliary structures. Loading details, regulations, furnishings, appurtenances, and other information are discussed when applicable. It provides minimum facility planning and design criteria for efficient homeporting facilities of Naval vessels. Existing ports, facilities, and berths may not meet all criteria and may, therefore, perform less efficiently, but do not necessarily require upgrade. It also focuses on the entire homeport operation. For example, ships will visit fueling and ammunition piers for short periods but generally berth at general purpose berthing piers.
