In Germany dolphins are commonly designed using a procedure after Blum, 1932, proposed in the EAU 2004. However, internationally the p-y-method is applied more widely for dolphin design. In future, legislature in Germany will change towards allowing the p-y-method besides the Blum-method. For the practioning engineer this raises the question of advantages and disadvantages of both methods. This paper contrasts the underlying principles and presents examples for design calculations to allow for comparison of the two methods. © 2011 Ernst & Sohn Verlag für Architektur und technische Wissenschaften GmbH & Co.
