FULL SCALE LOAD TESTS OF CANADA PLACE PIER, VANCOUVER. IN: LARGE-SCALE STRUCTURAL TESTING

The Canada Place Cruise Terminal in Vancouver was constructed originally in the 1920s. This paper describes the performance of the structural repairs and upgrading of the cruise terminal pier in 2001. The work included placement and densification of a gravel berm and installation of vertical drains to control the potential for liquefaction and soil movement during the design seismic event, and the driving of more than three hundred 914 mm diameter steel pipe piles to support the new deck and steel frame building.
