    Sheet Pile Walls: CE 163 First Semester 2011-2012

    Uploaded by

    Charles Warren Go
    Sheet pile walls are constructed using prefabricated steel or concrete sections that are driven or vibrated into the ground. They can be cantilevered or anchored. Cantilevered sheet pile walls derive their structural resistance from the full section of the pile and may fail due to excessive lateral earth pressures, bending moments that exceed the section capacity, or instability caused by excessive deflection. Analysis and design of cantilevered sheet pile walls involves calculating the lateral earth pressures, bending moment, and required section based on the wall geometry and soil properties.

    SHEET PILE WALLS

    CE 163
    First Semester 2011-2012
    DEFINITION
    • Sheet pile walls are constructed by driving prefabricated
    sections into the ground.
    • Soil conditions may allow for the sections to be vibrated into
    ground instead of it being hammer driven.
    • The full wall is formed by connecting the joints of adjacent
    sheet pile sections in sequential installation.
    • Sheet pile walls provide structural resistance by utilizing the
    full section.
    • Steel sheet piles are most commonly used in deep
    excavations, although reinforced concrete sheet piles have
    also being used successfully.
    Sheet Pile Walls
    • Two types of sheet piles walls:
    – Cantilevered
    – Anchored
    • Because sheet pile wall is flexible, lateral earth
    pressures differ significantly from those
    predicted by earth pressure theories
