Curtain-covered pile dock structure is a new type of dock structure, which is easy to destroy when earthquake occurs. This paper summarizes the engineering value and theoretical significance of seismic reaction in the curtain-covered board pile terminal, expounds the current seismic response analysis method, the soil structure model and the treatment of the dynamic boundary conditions, summarizes the research results of the seismic response of the dock structure in recent years, and puts forward some insights on the seismic reaction analysis of the subsequent curtained board pile terminal.
