Abstract:
Generally berthing jetties are constructed away from the shoreline inside the sea to get sufficient water depth for anchorage of ships. These are connected to the shore by approach jetties supported by piles. Jetty structures are generally located in deep sea. To achieve this depth and to have an economic structure, it is prefer to have pile supported structure. Thus studying the pile design is of importance. This paper includes, analysis and design of piles serving as substructure of jetty. The study has been carried by modelling jetty for 1m, 1.2m and 1.4m diameter of piles in STAAD software. The results have been extracted in terms of maximum moment, shear force, and deflection in transverse direction. Also design has been performed by preparing excel programs and cost calculation are also accomplished. Results indicate the optimum combination of pile diameter, depth, longitudinal and transverse c/c spacing between piles in terms of costs.
