    Cantilever Sheet Pile Walls

    Uploaded by

    Esmir Catarp
    Cantilever sheet pile walls rely entirely on passive soil resistance below the wall for stability. They are used for temporary support or with shallow soil retention. Failure occurs by rotation about a point near the bottom of the wall. Design assumes a concentrated resisting force acts below this point, with the depth calculated to balance moments. A safety factor is applied and the depth increased 20% for simplification. Horizontal and moment equilibrium should also be checked.

    CANTILEVER SHEET PILE WALLS

    Walls of this type are used only when the retained height of soil is
    relatively small in sands and gravels these walls may be used as
    permanent structures , but in general they are used for temporary support
    the stability of a cantilever sheet pile wall is due entirely to passive
    resistance developed below the lower soil surface . the mode failure is by
    rotation about a point O near the lower end of the wall as shown in Figure
    6.21(a) consequently passive resistance acts in front of the wall above O
    and behind the wall below O , as shown in Figure 6.21(b) thus providing
    a fixing moment : however , this pressure distribution is an idealization as
    there is unlikely to be a sudden change in passive pressure from front to
    back at point O

    FIG. 6.21 cantilever sheet pile wall

    Design is generally based on the simplification shown in Figure 6.21(c)


    ,it being assumed that the net passive resistance below point O is
    represented by a concentrated force R acting at a point C ,slightly below
    O at depth d below the lower soil surface . The depth d can be determined
    by equating moments about C to zero ,a factor of safety F being applied
    to the stabilizing moment i.e. by dividing the available passive resistance
    (Pp) in front of the wall by F . the value of d is then increased arbitrarily
    by 20% to allow for the simplification involved in the method ,i.e. the
    required depth of embedment is 1.2d .however ,it is desirable to evaluate
    R by equating horizontal forces to zero and to check that the net passive
    resistance available over the additional 20% embedment depth is equal to
    or greater than R .
