Study of an alternative structural solution for the new quay of Trattaroli Terminal in Ravenna

The thesis developed, aims the entire design for the new quay structure of Trattaroli peninsula in the port of Ravenna. The topic has been developed during a stage, lasting five months, at Sapir Engineering S.r.l. that operates in the field of public and private civil engineering works. The Port of Ravenna is the main port of Emilia-Romagna region. Docks are mainly on a channel that connects the town centre of Ravenna to the open sea, which is almost 10,00 km away. It hosts shipyards, multipurpose terminals, bulk cargo terminals and a containerized cargo terminal. The study at issue, regards the Candiano Channel, in particular the Trattaroli peninsula, located in the internal part of the Corsini Port that connects the centre of Ravenna with the open sea and is part of the commercial and industrial port. Specifically, in the thesis, it has been modified the existing project with new technological solutions and using alternative materials for structural and lasting performance improvements. For this reason, some numerical models have been applied to elaborate the study in terms of hydraulic, geotechnical and structural design.
