Port is a vital infrastructure supporting economic, transportation, and logistics distribution activities in Indonesia., especially as an archipelagic country. Increasing the capacity and modernization of port is a priority to promote economic growth and interregional integration. Container berth is a part of the global logistics system that plays an important role in speeding up loading and unloading processes and improving the efficiency of goods distribution. In addition, container berth also enable ports to handle increasing trade volumes. One of the ports with development potential is Krueng Geukueh Port in Lhokseumawe, Aceh. This port holds a strategic role as a logistics distribution center and a gateway for export-import activites in Aceh region. Based on the Decree of the Minister of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia Number KM 5 of 2022, a container berth structure is planned to be built at Krueng Geukueh Port to increase the port’s capacity and operational efficiency. This final project discusses the structural design of deck on pile type container berth at Krueng Geukueh Port, Lhokseumawe, Aceh. The scope of this final project includes collecting and processing of secondary data, preliminary design of berth structure to ensure it can withstand applied loads, modeling and structural analysis of berth structure using SAP2000 software, structural elements design calculation including plates, beams, pile caps, and piles, and soil bearing capacity analysis. The structural modeling and analysis will be performed according to the Unity Check Ratio (UCR) value limits between 0,7 and 1 and deflections that meet acceptable structural standards. The berth structure modeling will be conducted until the optimum structural design is obtained and the output, such as internal forces and structural placement reactions will be used for reinforcement design of the structural elements, including plates, beams, pile caps, and piles. The modeling output will also be used for soil bearing capacity analysis. Based on the results of this final project, the designed berth has dimensions of 155 m in length and 20 m in width. The berth structure is designed with an elevation of +4 m from LWS, with water depth of -9 m from LWS. Based on the optimum structural modeling, piles with 700 mm in diameter and 22 mm in wall thickness ares used for the berth structure, with UCR values ranging from 0,7 to 0,95 and deflections that are not exceeded the allowable limits. Based on the placemet reactions obtained, the piles need to be driven to a depth of 27 m from seabed.. The final output of this final project includes the berth structure dimensions, structural element dimensions, berthing and mooring facilities, structural reinforcement design, and pile driving depth.
