    BULKHEAD DESIGN NOMOGRAPH (Flat Berm, Flat Bank, Sandy Soil)

    Procedure for use of nomograph:


    Draw horizontal line from exposed height of bulkhead across entire width of nomograph as shown in example below.
    Draw vertical lines from points of intersection on graphs (anchor, sheet, and face piles down to length line).

    Refer to Table 11 on page 21 for recommendations


    on sheeting penetration vs. exposed height ratios
    for various soil types and site conditions.

    TYPICAL BULKHEAD TERMINOLOGY (NO SCALE)


    Nomograph Example:
    For a 7 ft. exposed height bulkhead in
    good granular soil with a flat berm
    angle (0 degree) and a flat bank angle
    (0 degree) a trial design would yield:

    Solution:
    Anchor pile length = 8'
    Sheeting thickness = 2'
    Sheet pile length = 12'
    Face pile length = 14'
    Anchor pile butt dia = 7”
    Face pile butt dia = 9-10”
    Anchor location = 2.5'
    Anchor spacing = 7.5'
    Waler design
    Top waler 6x8 (3/4 bolts)
    Mid waler 6x8 (3/4 bolts)
    Bottom waler 6x8 (3/4 bolts)
    Drag pile butt dia = 10”
    Drag pile burial depth = 4'
    Tie rod = 3/4” dia. 18' long
