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.
There are two types of sheet pile.
To take into account the friction between the wall and the soil we use friction angle δ φ 2.
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 soil is uniform as shown in the figure.
Cantilever walls are walls that do not have any supports and thus have a free unsupported excavation.
