中文摘要：

以某重力式码头沉箱结构为研究对象，进行了基于此码头的两种方案的离心模型试验，研究了不同条件下重力式码头的变形情况；利用非线性有限元程序ABAQUS，建立了挡土墙．砂垫层．地基体系固结问题的数值模型，然后分别以典型重力式码头的离心模型试验和工程原型为计算对象，以离心加速度增长和码头高度增长为加荷方式，对离心模型试验过程和码头的施工过程进行了数值模拟。综合对比了多种条件下码头和地基的变形情况，并探讨了地基土模量、淤积土的开挖深度对变形的影响，分析了施工过程中和竣工后的超静孔隙压水压力的变化和变形规律。

英文摘要：

This paper presents a study of a caisson quay wall founded on a clay in terms of centrifuge modeling and finite element analysis. The deformation of the quay wall and the foundation soil are investigated under different load paths. The effects of soil modulus and thickness of the clay on the deformation are also discussed. The main focus of the paper is to evaluate errors resulted from inadequate simulation of load path in centrifuge modeling.
