Abstract
The main objectives of this essay are the structural evaluation and the diagnosis in the corrosion of a dock . It supports a set of pipes of different diameters that are used for the load and unloading of primary product and its derivative. These products are respectively consumed and manufactured in a local company. The structural evaluation indicated a safety factor of 3.65 in those piles whose original condition is the same. The piles show some damage in three faces. Thus, it is immediately required to have these faces taken apart and fixed because their loading capacity is so diminished that they are incapable of supporting the earthquake design.
