Regarding the great important role of marine transportation and existence of hundreds of kilometers of marine boundary in Iran, it must simultaneously develop world maritime transportation and ports, plus constructing new ports and berths, also present ports and berths to develop and enhance the present capacities is necessary. Construction of a new Open-Type Wharf in front of available Sheet Pile pier is an offered method in this paper to development and retrofitting the Sheet Pile pier. This research based on numerical modeling is performed. Two Jetties by one of the finite element software such as ABAQUS will be modeled. This can significantly increase capacity of open-type wharf and certainly, the new pier cost will be reduced severely.
