Cantilever Sheet Pile Wall With Surcharge

In this paper a new method is proposed in the framework of the limit equilibrium approach for the analysis of cantilever sheet pile walls with distanced infinite uniform surcharge load under the seismic condition in cohesionless soils.

Cantilever sheet pile wall with surcharge.

Soil 2 below cut line is a cohesive material with cohesion 500 pcf f s. The sheet piling is driven to a sufficient depth into the ground to become fixed as a vertical can tilever resisting a load from active earth pressure. The various forces acting on a cantilever sheet pile wall are the active earth pressure on the back of the wall and the passive earth pressure on the front of the wall. Cantilever sheet pile walls are generally designed assuming the rectilinear distribution of net earth pressure.

Cantilever sheet piles are used where the height of the soil or water to be retained is smaller than 4 5 m. Types of sheet pile walls sheet pile walls may be cantilever or anchored walls. What is the embedment and maximum bending moment in the pile. Steel cantilever walls are limited to wall heights of 15 to 20 feet while vinyl cantilever.
