    Unit 2 Sheet Pile

    Uploaded by

    Sheet pile walls are retaining structures made of interlocking sheet piles embedded in the ground. There are two main types: cantilever sheet pile walls, which rely solely on passive soil resistance for stability, and anchored sheet pile walls, which use anchors to provide additional stability allowing for shallower installation depths. The required installation depth of sheet piles can be estimated using analytical methods that consider factors like soil type, soil properties, and design safety factors. Depth requirements may then be increased by 20-40% for safety.

    Sheet Pile Wall:

    Sheet pile walls are special type of earth retaining structures in which a continuous wall is
    constructed by joining sheet piles. Sheet piles are made of timber, steel or reinforced concrete
    and consist of special types of locking arrangement. Sheet pile are embedded in the ground to
    develop passive resistance in the front to keep the wall
    in equilibrium.

    Retaining wall VS Sheet pile wall:


    Types of sheet pile wall:

    Cantilever Sheet pile: A cantilever sheet pile retains backfill at a higher level on one side.
    The stability is entirely from the lateral passive resistance of the soil into which sheet pile is
    driven.

    Anchored sheet pile: The anchor provides forces for the stability of the sheet pile, in
    addition to the lateral passive resistance of the soil into which sheet piles are driven.

    The driving depth that is required for anchored sheet pile is smaller than for an cantilever sheet
    pile
    Cantilever sheet pile (in granular/cohesionless soil): The sheet pile rotate about point
    O’

    The computed depth D is for factor of safety of 1. Factor of safety of 1.5 to 2 can be provided by
    increasing the value of D by 20 to 40%
    Approximate method:
