    Example 2

    Determine the embedment depth and the anchor force of the wall shown.
    Determine the suitable sheet pile Z-section (AZ17 700).

    Solution

    Step 1: Select design approach i.e. DA1 Combination 1

    DA1 C1 = A1 + M1 + R1

    Step 2: Establish partial factors

    ɤG = 1.35, ɤQ = 1.5, ɤcʹ = 1, ɤϕʹ = 1, ɤɤ = 1, ɤR = 1, ɤS = 1

    Step 3: Determine design material properties

    Material properties will remain the same as partial factors for material
    properties are 1.0 for DA1 C1.

    Step 4: Calculate active pressure coefficient

    For ϕʹ = 30o, δa = 2/3ϕʹ, and β = 10o, Ka = 0.32

    For ϕʹ = 30o, δp = 1/2ϕʹ, and β = 10o, Kp = 4


    Step 5: Determine the lateral forces and moments.
    Use a table to facilitate ease of computation and checking. Below the
    groundwater level, take ɤ’ = 20-9.81 = 10.19 kN/m3

    Step 6: Determine embedment depth (do) by satisfying moment


    equilibrium

    ΣM = 12do3 + 93.76do2 - 469do-1192 = 0

    do = 4.76 m

    Step 7: Determine the anchor force by satisfying the horizontal


    equilibrium.

    Active force = 2.2do2 + 67do + 287.2 = 2.2x(4.762) + 67x4.76 + 287.2 = 656


    kN
    Passive force = 20.38do2 = 20.38 x (4.762) = 462 kN

    Anchor force = 656 – 462 = 194 kN, since there are 2 anchors per m of wall
    so anchor force for the single anchor will be = 194/2 = 87 kN

    Step 8: Safety against Shear force

    Maximum shear force on active side = 155 kN per m

    Projected shear area= Av = tw(h-tf) = 8.5(420-8.5) = 3497 mm2


    A v . f yk 3497 .355
    Shear resistance = = = 1024 kN per m > 155 (OK)
    b √3 700 √ 3
    ODF = 1024/155 = 6.60

    DoU = 1/6.6 x 100 = 15%


    Step 9: Safety against bending moment

    Mres. = fyk . Sel

    Mres. = 355×1735/1000 = 616 kN-m

    Here is fyk is the yield stress of steel = 355 MPa and Sel = Section modulus
    (cm3)

    The maximum moment acting on the sheet pile is at a point with zero shear
    force and i.e. 6.5 m

    So, the moment at 6.5 m can be calculated as follows.

    Mmax = +194 x 5.5 - 1.5 x 0.32 x 10 x 6.5 x (6.5 – 3.25) – 1.35 x 0.5 x 0.32 x
    18 x 6.52 x (6.5 -2/3x6.5)

    Mmax = 613 kN-m per m of wall < Mres (OK)

    ODF = 616 / 613 = 1.005

    DoU = 1/1.005 x 100 = 99%

    Note:

    Now, carry out the design according to DA1 C2 and choose the most critical
    out of C1 and C2 as the final design.
