 Definition

 Vessel capacity maps the design of Berthing Structures

 The 13th Cargo Berth at Kandla Port has been designed for 75000
DWT vessel

 Different types of Berthing Structures, the Berth has been

designed as a Open Piled Structure.
 FEASIBILITY OF PROJECT

 Total 12 Berths are available at Kandla Port

 Increase in Traffic has resulted in 99% Berth Occupancy

 The need for larger vessels to be moored directly on Berth

 Advantages over 12th Cargo Berth

• Vessels of 75000 DWT against 48000 DWT

• Super Cone Fenders instead of Pneumatic Fenders

• Muff well has been eliminated

 LITERATURE SURVEY

 Use Bored Cast in-situ Piles instead of Raker Piles/Driven Piles.

 Super Cone Fenders instead of Pneumatic Fenders.

 Seismic Effects have been studied in accordance with 1893-2002.

 Dynamic analysis has been performed to find out natural time period of
the berthing structure.

 Till Today, Dynamic Analysis has not been done to design Berth at
Kandla.
 MODELLING OF STRUCTURE

 Selection of STAAD.Pro Software

 Modelling Steps adopted

 Moving Load Command has been utilized to obtain design

Bending Moment for Crane Beam.

 Modelling of Fender Beam as Facia wall.

 DESIGN DATA OF BERTH

 Dead Weight Tonnage (DWT) = 75,000 T

 Displacement Tonnage (DT) = 93,750 T

 Draught, fully laden (D) = 13.5 m

 Light Draught (DL) = 10 m

 Length overall (L) = 255 m

 Moulded Breadth (B) = 38 m

 Mould Depth (DM) = 18.4 m

 STRUCTURAL CONFIGURATION

 Length of Berth = 300 Mts

 Width of Berth = 55 Mts
 Length of Each Unit = 63 Mts
 Pile Spacing longitudinally = 7.0 Mts
 Pile Spacing Transversly = 6.5 To 7.5 Mts
 Total Piles in one unit = 80 Nos

Piles are connected to each other by cross beams and

longitudinal beams.
 Loads Considered

Dead Load (DL)

Live Load (LL)

Berthing Force (BF) + Mooring Force (MF) +
Diff Water Pressure (DWP) + Earth Pressure (EP)
Crane Load (CL)
Seismic Load (EL)
 LOAD CALCULATIONS

Loads Acting on Berthing Structures

1. Berthing force
E = WD*V2* Cm*Ce*Cs/2g

2. Mooring force
F= Cw * Aw * P

3. Dead load
Self weight of structure
4. Live load
Rail, Road, Bulk Unloaders, Cranes etc,
UDL due to to cargo
5. Active earth pressure if the berth retains the earth

6. Environmental forces
Wind,Wave,Current,Differential water pressure

7. Seismic force
Ah= Z*I*Sa
2 R g

 CONCLUSION

 Piles near the sea side have greater additional moment.

 Piles in Last Row can take higher Lateral load due to their
higher stiffness.

 Piles supporting crane beam have highest Axial load.

 Super Cone Fenders are more efficient than Pneumatic fender.

 Seismicity governs the design of Berth.
