Abstarct: In Iran as one of the developing countries with long water boundaries, the construction of the piers is important according to the role played in the development of the country. The quays, including sheet pile with relieving platform where the soil is poor, enter a large load on the berth, or a higher elevation of the wall required is applicable. The relieving platform removes the side pressure caused by overhead. In this study, a type of sheet pile with relieving platform with finite element method and according to different guidelines is studied and compared. The software used for modeling is PLAXIS 2D, and a laboratory model has been used to validate the software. The basis for the selection of codes for comparative analysis was the semi-probabilistic design philosophy surrounding this type of structure. Hence, four codes and guideline CUR166, CUR211, EAU, EUROCODE7 are selected for further consideration. At the end of this research, the comparison of codes has been made and the results of the software brought in which the sheet pile wall is compared in terms of bending moment, axial force and horizontal displacement. The values of bending moment, axial force and horizontal displacement obtained from EUROCODE have been the lowest value between the codes and guidelines and the X52 profile has been proposed for it. For the quay wall designed according to the CUR211 code, the EAU also has been proposed the X56 profile.
