 Cantilever Sheet Pile Walls

Basic principles for the

estimation of net lateral
pressure distribution on
a cantilever sheet pile
wall can be explained
with the aid of figure
above, which shows the
nature of lateral yielding
of a cantilever wall The wall rotates about a point
penetrating a sand layer O. The hydrostatic pressure at
below the dredge line. anydepth from both sides of the
wall will cancel each other, we
will consider only the effective
lateral soil pressure.

Zone A : the lateral pressure is only the active pressure

from the land side.
Zone B : there will be active pressure from the land
side and passive pressure from the water side.
Zone C : the condition is reversed in this zone (below
the point of rotation O) – Page 3

The intensity of the
active pressure at a
depth z = L1:

The active pressure

at a depth of z =
L1+L2 :

The active pressure at

a depth z (below the
dredge line):

The passive pressure at a depth z

(below the dredge line):

The net lateral pressure:

The net lateral pressure s’ becomes equal to zero at a depth L3

below the dredge line:
or
The slope of the net pressure distribution line DEF is 1 vertical to
(Kp –Ka)g’ horizontal :
At the bottom of the sheet pile, passive pressure (sp) act from
the right toward the left side, and active pressure act from the
left toward the right side of the sheet pile. So at z = L + D:
and

The net lateral pressure at the bottom of the sheet pile:

For the stability of the wall, the principles of statics can now be applied:

For summation of the horizontal force:

Summing the moment of all the force about point B:

Combining several equations and simplifying them further, one

obtains the followong fourth degree equations in terms of L 4:

Step by step procedure for obtaining the
pressure diagram for a cantilever sheet
pile wall penetrating a granular soil:
1. Calculate Ka and Kp
2. Calculate s1’ and s2‘ (L and L will be given)
1 2

3. Calculate L3
4. Calculate P
5. Calculate z (the center of pressure for the area ACDE, by taking
moment about E)
6. Calculate s5’
7. Calculate A1, A2, A3 and A4.
8. Solve by trial and error to determine L4.
9. Calculate s4’ 12. Draw the pressure diagram.
10. Calculate s3’ 13. Obtain the theoretical depth of
11. Obtain L5 penetration as L3 + L4 – Page 8

Calculation of maximum bending moment:
The maximum moment will occur between the points E and F’.
Obtaining the maximum moment (Mmax) per unit length of the
wall requires determining the point of zero shear. For the new
axis z’ (with origin at point E) for zero shear:

or
The magnitude of the maximum moment can be obtained as:

The necessary profile of the sheet piling is then sized according

to the allowable flexural stress of the sheet pile material:
