![]() ![]() ![]() We start with the simplest case: a cantilever sheet pile wall with a uniform stratigraphy and no water to affect the results. The advent of software such as SPW 911 has made executing this design a much simpler task than in the past, when charts and graphical methods were employed to accomplish the task.īut someone who is not a regular practitioner may wonder: why is this task so complicated? Why can’t we just use some formulas and be done with it? The purpose of this article is to show why this is so, while at the same time give some idea as to how the charts featured in Sheet Pile Design by Pile Buck came into being and how we can perhaps use these simplified cases to give us some “back of the envelope” understanding of sheet pile design. Sheet pile design and analysis is an important part of geotechnical engineering, and is well documented in publications such as Sheet Pile Design by Pile Buck.
