Cantilever Sheet Pile Wall With Surcharge

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 pile wall with surcharge.

Figure ts14r 6 illustrates both a cantilever sheet pile wall and an anchored sheet pile wall. Types of sheet pile walls sheet pile walls may be cantilever or anchored walls. Steel cantilever walls are limited to wall heights of 15 to 20 feet while vinyl cantilever. 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.

In this example the surcharge load is merged with the active pressure. A cantilevered sheet pile wall performs somewhat like a cantilevered beam. 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. Design of sheet pile wall with cohesive soil and surcharge load introduction.

It also can be separated as example 3. Cantilever walls derive support from adequate embedment below the stream channel. Soil 2 below cut line is a cohesive material with cohesion 500 pcf f s. Cantilever sheet pile walls are generally designed assuming the rectilinear distribution of net earth pressure.
