Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive review on the finite element analyses for the performance-based design of the Floodwall, an important component of hurricane storm surge barrier for New Orleans, Louisiana. The finite element models are calibrated and verified with a lateral pile load test, and they are used to derive the design hurricane storm surging loads on the Floodwall. Such storm surging loads are used to determine the seepage cut-off depth of the wall based on design seepage criteria. The settlement of the Floodwall during its design life is estimated by the finite element consolidation analysis with considering soil-pile-interaction. Finally, a brief discussion is given to the finite element stability analysis for an effective remediation design of the submerged rock dike of the Floodwall using a soil cut-off structures at the dike toe.
