 note = {This study presents a methodology for determining the stability of sheet-pile structures in the construction of sea-port system, and thus proposes a priority plan for maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) of sheet-pile structures. In details, we formulate a mechanical model to evaluate the stability of sheet-pile structures, which are measured by means of ground stability or shrinkage in account of risks associated with seismic forces. Based on the formulation of mechanical model, we develop a hybrid simulation model for determining a set of priority rule in M&R activities. This hybrid model enables managers of sea-port system to minimize the M&R expenditure in their expected management term. The usefulness and practicability of our model are proved through the implementation of an empirical study using monitoring data on sea-port structures in Osaka city.},
