and defining basins of barge and passenger piers vary with plan. Each basin in 

 this study contains 22-28 elements. HARBD output information was saved at 

 each of these locations in addition to the detailed output at nodes.

Procedures for evaluating operational performance at a pier 



One objective of this study was to develop and implement a more quantitative 

 procedure for comparing the operational acceptability of different harbor plans 

 subjected to long waves using HARBD. The procedures are described in the 

 following paragraphs. 



Existing criteria. The following criteria are relevant to operational 

 performance at a pier: 



1. Wilson (1967) suggests that a wharf will be operationally acceptable if
