piles for marinas, stilted marine buildings

(OP)
I'm looking for concepts regarding different types of foundations for piles for marinas and stilted marine buildings.  

i'm a little out of my normal field so any links or ideas would be most welcome.

RE: piles for marinas, stilted marine buildings

What are you trying to accomplish?  (i.e. "Why the question?")

Be advised that you are asking about a pretty complicated topic here - not just structural issues, but geotechnical and hydrologic as well.  Not an area for the "weekend warrior" or casual designer.

For example, the depth of embedment - and type of material used - for piles may well hinge on the anticipated depth of scour.  There are a good many structures in Florida that have suffered significant damage because the designer(s) failed to properly account for scour in their design.



Please see FAQ731-376 for great suggestions on how to make the best use of Eng-Tips Fora.  See FAQ158-922 for recommendations regarding the question, "How Do You Evaluate Fill Settlement Beneath Structures?"
