Rapid growth in the water transport system demands the construction of more port and harbour
structures.Berthing structures are constructed in ports and harbours to provide facilities such as berthing
and mooring of vessels, loading and unloading of cargo and embarking and disembarking of passengers.
Quays, wharfs, piers, jetties and dolphins are the most widely used berthing structures. In this project, linear
and non-linear static analysis berthing structure module is studied. The basic data influence factors which
affected the berthing structure were taken into consideration, such as soil characteristics of the proposed
location, environmental conditions and range of traffic which will be used in the project is generally taken
from Visakhapatnam port. The entire Berth length is 506.4m which is divided into 10 modules and each
module length is 50.640m and width of the berth is 33.450m. The Berth has been analyzed by using STAAD
Pro Software. After performing the linear and non-linear static analysis of the berthing structure module the
behaviour of the structural elements is compared by various parameters deflection, bending moments, shear
forces of cross beam, long beam, crane beam, front crane beam, retaining beam and also for the different
piles. The axial forces variations of different piles are also studied.
