Abstracts: India is the 20th largest maritime country in the world. Its strategic location of a long coastline that make it a major maritime nation. Also, a Gujarat maritime sector is considered to be the most protective and well developed sectors of India. With the development of oil and gas, chemical and power industry there is a huge demand to transfer bulk cargo. This demand will be fulfilled with development of ports. Berths or Jetties are important port structures. It is a transit point where ocean and land transport meet. For this kind of structures most important is to predict the forces acting and possible worst load combination. Here, attempt is carried out for analysis and design of Berthing structure. Various forces like berthing force, mooring force, wave force, seismic force, dead load, live load, hydrodynamics etc. are calculated and these forces are applied to 3-D structure using STAAD-pro. For berthing structure lateral load is critical. By using prevailing guideline like Indian standards. The main objective of the study is to analyze the berthing structure like jetty under action of various forces/loads acting on it with various load combinations. Use of software like STAAD-pro will be made to analyze the structure for various forces and various load combinations. In study berthing structure has been analyzed and designed. For this purpose one problem from Mundra has been taken. This has been analyze using STAAD-Pro and designed using various guidelines. The content of major project is divided in various chapters
