ABSTRACT:
A quay structure is disclosed. The structure includes a wall constructed of a plurality of wall panels. Elongated truss members are secured to the inner side of the wall panels. The wall panels are stacked vertically to form the wall, with the truss members extending generally horizontally from their respective wall panels. Vertical truss members maintain the horizontal truss members in the proper relation to each other. The space on the land side of the wall and between and around the truss members and the support members is filled with prepared or natural particulate material. The frictional engagement of the fill material on the truss members and all of the elements of the wall provides a firm structure for berthing ships along the wall. At the top of the wall, a monolithic cope member is superimposed on the particulate fill material. Ladders, bollards and other special navigation and handling devices are also disclosed.
