In the case of the port mooring facility, jetties with piles are mainly applied in soft ground conditions. In the three-dimensional modeling for the structural analysis of jetties with piles, the boundary conditions between the pile and the ground are universally applied to the Approximate depth of pile supported method and Elastic subgrade reaction spring method. In this study, p-y curve data for the pile ground condition was generated using the LPILE program, and then the nonlinear spring considering the p-y curve as the pile and ground boundary condition was input and analyzed in the 3D modeling of jetties with piles using the MIDAS civil And the necessity of applying the Nonlinear subgrade reaction spring method by comparison with the result and the analysis result according to the existing analysis method is suggested.

Most of the domestic jetties of jacket structure were designed by SACS with design criteria based on “Design Standards for Harbour and Fishery Port”. In fact, companies of structural maintenance and Inspection fail to conduct proper safety assessment of jetties of jacket structure using SACS due to a manpower shortage. But instead, they are using MIDAS to conduct safety assessment of these jetties as an alternative to using SACS. The purpose of this study is to provide the rational way for MIDAS user to assess jetties of jacket structure using SACS.
