Cantilever Sheet Pile Wall With Surcharge

A cantilevered sheet pile wall performs somewhat like a cantilevered beam.

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. 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. Cantilever sheet piles are used where the height of the soil or water to be retained is smaller than 4 5 m. Steel cantilever walls are limited to wall heights of 15 to 20 feet while vinyl cantilever.

Soil 2 below cut line is a cohesive material with cohesion 500 pcf f s. What is the embedment and maximum bending moment in the pile. In this example the surcharge load is merged with the active pressure. Types of sheet pile walls sheet pile walls may be cantilever or anchored walls.

Cantilever sheet pile walls are generally designed assuming the rectilinear distribution of net earth pressure. Design of sheet pile wall with cohesive soil and surcharge load introduction. 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.
