This work deals with the behavior of sleeve-pile set models used in the simulation of docking jacket operations. The adopted strategy involves the comparison of three-dimensional dynamic analysis with complete models, where docking pile and marine soil are considered. This dynamic analysis is performed in the time domain, including all the environmental loads and ship motions, using a substructure technique. The main discussion is focused in appropriate modeling the sleeve-pile set. Two propositions were examined: in the first one, the nonlinear docking spring takes into account the sleeve, pile and nonlinear soil contributions; in the second, the docking sleeve characteristics were added to the jacket model. To reach the objectives a real docking operation case was selected. A typical Campos Basin jacket was modeled with fine discretization of all details to access precisely the sleeve-pile set interaction. The obtained results can establish practical conclusions to docking jacket analysis.
