Anchored sheet pile wall

Topics:

Anchored sheet pile wall in cohesionless soilAnchored sheet pile wall in cohesive soil

Design using free earth support method

Assumptions:

1. Sheet pile is rigid, and lateral deflection is small.2. The lateral pressure distributes according to Rankines or Coulombs theories3. The tie back is strong, and sheet pile rotate about the tie rod anchor point at failure.4. Bottom of sheet pile is free to move.

The embedded depth can be determined by summarizing horizontal earth pressures and moments about the anchor. Fx = 0 [1]Mo = 0 [2] The difficulty is that the lateral earth pressure is a function of embedded depth. Both equations are highly nonlinear. A trial and errormethod has to be used to determine the root.For structural design, the sheet pile needs to be able to withstand maximum moment and shear from lateral pressure. A structuralanalysis needs to be done to determine maximum moment and shear.Anchored sheet pile wall in cohesionless soilDesign length of sheet pile

The sheet pile design above is based on a unit width, foot or meter. The tie back force T calculated from sheet pile design is force perlinearly width of sheet pile. The top of sheet pile often supported with soldier beams and tie rods at certain spacing.Assume the spacing of tie rod is s, the tension in the rod is T times s. The required area of tie rod isA = T s / FtWhere Ft is allowable tensile stress of steel and is equal to 0.6Fy in AISC ASD design.The soil beam is designed as a continuous beam that subjected to tie back force T. The maximum moment in the soldier beam iscalculated from structural analysis. The required section modulus is equal to S = Mmax / Fb.Design procedure

1. Calculate lateral earth pressure at bottom of excavation, pa and Ha1.

pa = g Ka H, Ha1=pa*h/22. Calculate the length a, and Ha2.

a = pa / g (Kp-Ka), Ha2=pa*a/23. Assume a trial depth Y, calculate HCEF.

HCEF = g (Kp-Ka) Y2/34. Let R = Ha1*y1 + Ha2* y2 HCEF* y3

y1 = (2h/3-b)y2 = (h+a/3-b)y3 = (h+a+2Y/3)

Substitute Y into R, if R = 0, the embedded depth, D = Y + a.If not, assume a new Y, repeat step 3 to 4.

5. Calculate the length of sheet pile, L = h+F.S.*D, FS is from 1.2 to 1.4.6. Calculate anchored force T = Ha1+ Ha2 HCEF7. Calculate y = -b+2*T/(g Ka)8. Calculate Mmax = T y - g Ka (y+b)3/69. Calculate required section modulus S= Mmax/Fb.
