Sheet-Pile Walls
Introduction
The building of sheet-pile walls does not usually require
dewatering of the site.
Introduction
Wooden sheet piles are used only for temporary, light structures that
are above the water table.
Precast concrete sheet piles are heavy and are designed with
reinforcements to withstand the permanent stresses to which the
structure will be subjected after construction and also to handle the
stresses produced during construction.
Construction Methods
Sheet-pile walls may be divided into two basic categories:
1. Cantilever
2. Anchored
The soil used for backfill behind the sheet-pile wall is usually
granular.
Construction Methods
Construction methods generally can be divided into two
categories:
1. Backfilled structure
2. Dredged structure
Construction Methods
The sequence of construction for a backfilled structure is as
follows and is illustrated on the following slide.
Construction Methods
Construction Methods
The sequence of construction for a dredged structure is as
follows and is illustrated on the following slide.
Construction Methods
The wall rotates about point O. Because the hydrostatic pressures at any
depth from both sides of the wall will cancel each other, we consider only
the effective lateral soil pressures.
The condition is reversed in zone C—that is, below the point of rotation,
O.

The procedure for moment reduction using the following figure is outlined
on the next slide.
