Rapid growth in the water transport system demands the construction of more port and harbour structures.Berthing structures are constructed in ports and harbours to provide facilities such as berthing and mooring of vessels, loading and unloading of cargo and embarking and disembarking of passengers. Quays, wharfs, piers, jetties and dolphins are the most widely used berthing structures. In this project, linear and non-linear static analysis berthing structure module is studied. The basic data influence factors which affected the berthing structure were taken into consideration, such as soil characteristics of the proposed location, environmental conditions and range of traffic which will be used in the project is generally taken from Visakhapatnam port. The entire Berth length is 506.4m which is divided into 10 modules and each module length is 50.640m and width of the berth is 33.450m. The Berth has been analyzed by using STAAD Pro Software. After performing the linear and non-linear static analysis of the berthing structure module the behaviour of the structural elements is compared by various parameters deflection, bending moments, shear forces of cross beam, long beam, crane beam, front crane beam, retaining beam and also for the different piles. The axial forces variations of different piles are also studied.

According to the common design methods of calculation of the stress state induced by torsion of massive prismatic concrete structural elements, the structural system is reduced to a simple cage consisting of ties and struts. This model has, however, a number of principal shortcomings, the major of them is the fact that all of simultaneously acting effects like axial forces, bending moments and shear forces are not taken into account – the compressive axial forces increase very significantly the torque capacity of structural members, while due to action of tensile forces, bending moments and shear forces the torque capacity is reduced. These phenomena, applying non-linear approaches, are analysed and assessed.

Abstract In recent times, the RC building construction with vertical discontinuity that is floating column structures are unavoidable feature and increases trends day by day. To reduce lateral forces the earthquake resistance structures are designed so the response reduction factor (R) is used to determine these lateral forces by using base shear values. The R factor depends upon the overstrength factor, ductility factor, redundancy factor also the sizes of columns, types of soil, zones and load transferring path, etc. The IS code provides response reduction factor only for OMRF and SMRF along with other structures like Braced frame system, Structural wall system, Dual system, Flat slab structure wall system, etc. so there are no codal provisions for floating column structures. Thus it is essential to study the real behaviours of RC buildings with discontinuity in load transferring path through non-linear static analysis, so the present research work is done on trying to find R factor for vertical discontinuous asymmetrical structure for different soil conditions and different positions of floating column using moment resisting frames. And the structure is analyzed by response spectrum analysis and non-linear static analysis using SAP2000 software.
