Principles of Foundation Engineering, SI, 8th edition Das

Introduction
 The building of sheet-pile walls does not usually require
dewatering of the site.

 Several types of sheet pile are commonly used in


construction:
 1. Wooden sheet piles
 2. Precast concrete sheet piles
 3. Steel sheet piles

 Aluminum sheet piles are also marketed.

Principles of Foundation Engineering, SI, 8th edition Das

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.

 Sheet-pile sections may be Z, deep arch, low arch, or straight web


sections. The interlocks of the sheet-pile sections are shaped like a
thumb-and-finger or ball-and-socket joint for watertight connections.

Principles of Foundation Engineering, SI, 8th edition Das

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.

 Soil below the dredge line may be sandy or clayey.

 The surface of soil on the water side is referred to as the mud


line or dredge line.

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.

1. Dredge the in situ soil in front and back of the proposed


structure.

2. Drive the sheet piles.

3. Backfill up to the level of the anchor, and place the


anchor system.

4. Backfill up to the top of the wall.

Cantilever Sheet-Pile Walls


Cantilever sheet-pile walls are usually recommended for
walls of moderate height.

The sheet piles act as a wide cantilever beam above the


dredge line.

Cantilever Sheet-Pile Walls


The figure on slide 13 demonstrates the following observations:

The figure shows the nature of lateral yielding of a cantilever wall


penetrating a sand layer below the dredge line.

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.

11 © 2016 Cengage Learning Engineering. All Rights Reserved.


Principles of Foundation Engineering, SI, 8th edition Das

Cantilever Sheet-Pile Walls


In zone A, the lateral pressure is just the active pressure from the land
side.

In zone B, because of the nature of yielding of the wall, there will be


active pressure from the land side and passive pressure from the water
side.

The condition is reversed in zone C—that is, below the point of rotation,
O.

Cantilever Sheet Piling Penetrating Sandy Soils


If the water table is at a depth L1 below the top of the wall and the
effective angle of friction of the sand is f ', then the intensity of
the active pressure at z = L is s ' = g L K .
1 1 1 a

K a = Rankine active pressure coefficient = tan2(45- f ' /2)

g = unit weight of soil above the water table


The active pressure at a depth z = L1 + L2 is s 2' = (g L1 + g 'L2 )K a

g ' = g sat - g w= effective unit weight of soil

15 © 2016 Cengage Learning Engineering. All Rights Reserved.


Principles of Foundation Engineering, SI, 8th edition Das

Cantilever Sheet Piling Penetrating Sandy Soils


Ignoring the hydrostatic pressure from both sides of the wall, the active
pressure at depth z is

s a' = éëg L1 + g 'L2 + g '(z - L1 - L2 )ùû K a


Passive pressure at depth z is

s = g '(z - L - L )K
'
p 1 2 p

A combination of both the above equations gives net lateral pressure

s ' = s 2' - g '(z - L)(K p - K a ) L = L1 + L2

Principles of Foundation Engineering, SI, 8th edition Das

Cantilever Sheet Piling Penetrating Sandy Soils


The net pressure s '
equals zero at a depth L3 below the
dredge line, so
s 2'
(z - L) = L3 =
g '(K p - K a )
At the bottom of the sheet pile, passive pressure acts from
the right toward the left side and active pressure acts from
the left toward the right side. Thus at

z = L+ D we have the equation


s = (g L1 + g 'L2 + g 'D)K p

In calculating the maximum bending moment we determine
the maximum moment will occur between points E and F’.

Cantilever Sheet Piling Penetrating Clay

Sometimes cantilever sheet piles must be driven into a clay


layer possessing an undrained cohesion c.

The figure below shows a cantilever sheet-pile wall driven


into clay with a backfill of granular soil above the level of
the dredge line.

Principles of Foundation Engineering, SI, 8th edition Das

Cantilever Sheet Piling Penetrating Clay

At any depth greater than L1 + L2, for f = 0, the Rankine


active earth-pressure coefficient Ka = 1.

Similarly, for f = 0, the Rankine passive earth-pressure


coefficient Kp = 1.

Thus above the point of rotation the active pressure from


right to left is

s a = éëg L1 + g 'L2 + g sat (z - L1 - L2 )ùû -2c

Cantilever Sheet Piling Penetrating Clay

The passive pressure from left to right may be expressed as


s p = g sat (z - L1 - L2 )+2c
Thus the net pressure is
s 6 = 4c -(g L1 + g 'L2 )
At the bottom of the sheet pile the passive pressure from
right to left is s p = (g L1 + g 'L2 + g sat D)+2c

Anchored Sheet-Pile Walls

When the height of the backfill material behind a cantilever


sheet-pile wall exceeds about 6 m, tying the wall near the
top to anchor plates, anchor walls, or anchor piles becomes
more economical.

This type of construction is referred to as anchored sheet-


pile wall or an anchored bulkhead.

Anchored Sheet-Pile Walls

Anchors minimize the depth of penetration required by the


sheet piles and also reduce the cross-sectional area and
weight of the sheet piles needed for construction.

The two basic methods of designing anchored sheet-pile


walls are

1. 1. The free earth support method

2. 2. The fixed earth support method

Anchors

The general types of anchor used in sheet-pile walls are as follows:

1. Anchor plates and beams (deadman)

2. Tie backs

3. Vertical anchor piles

4. Anchor beams supported by batter (compression and tension) piles

68 © 2016 Cengage Learning Engineering. All Rights Reserved.


Principles of Foundation Engineering, SI, 8th edition Das

Anchors

Anchor plates and beams are generally made of cast


concrete blocks.

The anchors are attached to the sheet pile by tie rods. A


wale is placed at the front or back face of a sheet pile for
the purpose of conveniently attaching the tie rod to the
wall.

In the construction of tiebacks, bars or cables are placed in


predrilled holes with concrete grout.

Anchors

The resistance offered by anchor plates and beams is derived primarily


from the passive force of the soil located in front of them.

The figure below shows the best location for maximum efficiency of an
anchor plate.

The figures on the following slide show the proper locations for the
placement of tiebacks, vertical anchor piles, and anchor beams supported
by batter piles.
