A STUDY ON BEHAVIOUR OF STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS OF BERTHING STRUCTURE WITH RAKER PILE AND ANCHORED WALL

The transportation system plays a vital role in the nation's economy. In transportation systems marine transportation system is very important and cheapest way of transportation. The transportation of men and material is increasing day by day. So to reduce the marine traffic there is a need to construct many new ports with a vision to ensure ecofriendly environment in spite of challenging conditions. In construction type of berthing structure there are two types they are Open type and Closed/Solid type of berthing structure. While designing the berthing structure there are different type of live loads they are stack load, crane load, BGML load, truck load, Mooring force etc.., are acting on the deck slab of berthing structure. To resist the all the load there is need to provide different structural elements they T-Shaped Diaphragm Wall, Main Cross head Beam, Vertical pile, Raker pile/ Anchored Wall/ Tie Rod. Especially to resist the horizontal force the structural elements like Raker Pile or Anchored Wall or Tie Rod are used. To know the best model of the berthing structure which can resist all type of loads there is a need to compare to the any two types of berthing structure they are Berthing structure with Raker Pile and Berthing structure with Anchored Wall. To know the behaviour the Bending Moment, Shear force and Axial Force of the Structural member and Deflection of the both the Berthing structure are studied and compared the results and shown the Percentage variation of each structural members. The STAAD Pro software is used for modelling and analysis of the Berthing structure.
