A Study on Methods to Enhance the Stability of Riverbanks in Seaport Areas

In the construction of irrigation structures, especially the wharf structures, it is important to learn about the deformation and damage of river banks in the wharf area. From assessing the stability of the river banks, a solution can be proposed to enhance the stability of the seaports, ensuring their safety during operation. Currently, the number of seaports located in soft soil accounts up to half the total number of seaports in Vietnam. The process of planning, designing, and constructing the foundation of the seaports is not optimized in Vietnam. Some seaports have uncounted problems when they are constructed on the soft soil. This paper aims to develop a method to reinforce the foundation of the riverbank so that the stability of the seaports can be maintained and any undesired deformation, or landslide, can be avoided. This method can help stabilize the structure that protects the seaports. The results obtained for the embankment structure with a stable wharf and a deep sliding with K=2.014 is larger than the allowable coefficient [K] = 1.25 in 22TCN 207-1992.
