    Cantilever Sheet Pile Wall in Cohesionless Soil

    Uploaded by

    Andres Naranjo
    This document provides calculations for designing a cantilever sheet pile wall in cohesionless soil. It includes parameters like soil properties, pile geometry, lateral earth pressures, maximum shear and bending moment. The maximum shear is calculated as 3.105 kips/ft and maximum moment is 24.84 kip-ft. A minimum section modulus of 9.32 in^3 is required based on these forces and an allowable bending stress of 32 ksi.
