Abstract—A Jetty structure is a type of coastal engineering construction designed to extend into bodies of water, such as oceans, seas, rivers, or lakes. It typically consists of a series of connected elements, such as piles, beams, and decking, that are built perpendicular to the shore or coastline. As we venture into the distant future, the need to adapt and innovate becomes increasingly paramount. Nowhere is this more evident than in the realm of coastal engineering, where the design of structures that can withstand the challenges of rising sea levels, changing climate patterns, and evolving technologies is of utmost importance. Therefore, we must update our port infrastructure in order to preserve the country’s economic expansion and keep up with the constantly shifting demands of the global logistics industry. This paper presents an attempt to evaluate such an existing jetty slab structure in Mumbai’s Jawaharlal Nehru Port. Using structural drawings that were on hand and analysis of the jetty model in STAAD-PRO, the present load bearing capability of the jetty was determined. Ideas for future development as well as steps to repair the harm the jetty accrued through time were also suggested based on the studies’ conclusions.
