Design of Sheet Pile Bracing

This document outlines the design criteria, structural analysis, and design of sections for a sheet pile retaining wall with bracing system. The design criteria include soil properties, material specifications, and lateral earth pressure calculations. A finite element model was created and straining actions on the waler beams and sheet piles were determined. Finally, the waler beams, struts, braces, and vertical columns were designed and their stress/capacity ratios checked to verify adequate strength and stability of the retaining wall system.
