The sheet pile for elastic behavior includes AZ28-700 and AZ 28-700. Active pressures should be computed using the Coulomb Theory or the logarithmic spiral method. The cross sectional area of the profile. This AZ28-700 value is not yet use D-SHEET PILINGIn summary for the determination of lateral earth pressures on sheet pile walls:use should be limited to very low wall heights subjected to light loads. The maximum allowable moment for plastic behavior at zero no force. Sectional geometries and material properties should be specified for each application, and conformance of the piling should be verified by a qualified testing laboratory. As a minimum,The AZ 28-700 elastic section modulus Wel (also called resisting moment in Netherlands). the designer should specify acceptable values of the following properties determined by the referenced ASTM standards: Passive pressures should be computed using the Coulomb Theory with an appropriate safety factor or the logarithmic spiral method. water absorption (ASTM D 570 (1981)); tensile strength (ASTM D 638 (1989d)); flexural strength and modulus of elasticity (ASTM D 790 (1986b)); compressive strength (ASTM D 695 (1990)); and barcol hardness (ASTM D 2583 (1987)). This value is not yet used by D-SHEET PILING.
A graphical analysis for complicated cross sections. D-SHEET PILING uses this value for single and combined wall analysis. If a wall of these materials is expected to be exposed to sunlight or extreme heat, the ultraviolet and thermal properties of the material should be investigated and adequate protection provided. User defined AZ26-700N profiles and groups can be added via the Add and Edit buttons, and deleted using the Delete button. For complicated cross sections involving irregular and stratified backfills, the reader should consult such texts as Fundamentals of Soil Mechanics by Taylor and Soil Mechanics in Engineering Practice by Terzaghi and Peck. Select or enter a name for the group of profiles. AZ 50 profile name Enter the name of the profile.
Selection of the material for the sheet piling should be based on AZ26-700N and AZ 46. Aesthetics, the function of the wall, and the difficulty of installation. Stiffness EI Enter the bending stiffness of the profile Elastic moment Enter the maximum allowable moment for elastic behavior with zero applied normal force Soil Properties - Independent of the theory used to compute earth pressure on retaining structures, the results can be no more accurate than the soil properties used in the calculations. Plastic moment Enter the maximum allowable moment for plastic behavior with zero applied normal force. Steel is the most frequently used material because of its relatively high strength-weight ratio and its availability in a variety of shapes and sizes. Enter the elastic section modulus Wel (also called resisting moment in the Netherlands). This AZ 46 value is not yet used by D-SHEET PILING. Because of the wide variations of subsurface conditions at various sites, the soil constants should be determined on the basis of an exploratory boring program and laboratory tests of representative samples. Section area Enter the cross sectional area of the profile. This value is not currently used by AZ 48 SHEET PILING. Only then can a safe and economical design be assured. Life cycle cost analyses should be performed for various alternatives to select the most viable solution.
Width Enter the width of a single AZ 50 pile. D-SHEET PILING uses this value when performing a single pile or combined wall analysis. Cantilever walls of materials other than concrete. (a) Flexure. The minimum section modulus is given min = section modulus per foot of wall M max = maximum bending moment per foot of AZ 48 wall fb = allowable bending stress appropriate to the material and loading condition The Pile option is available in the Construction menu only if the Single pile model in the Model window is selected. On the menu bar, click Construction and then choose AZ28-700 pile to open the input window. An approximate relationship between the relative density, standard penetration resistance, angle of internal friction, and unit weight of granular soils. The content of the window will be different for an Elastic or a Plastic calculation.
Single Pile – Elastic Calculation. Aluminum piling may be advantageous in a corrosive environment where additional thickness of AZ 50 steel is required to compensate for section loss. First, the top level of the pile is entered. Next, click the Insert row button to insert a new row or click the Add row button to add one.
The stiffness of AZ 48 can be varied for each section. However, for the purpose of preliminary design it is often necessary to presume appropriate soil properties. The following tables and graphs are included for this purpose merely as a guide. Click here to import the name, diameter and bending stiffness of the AZ 46 section from the D-SHEET PILING library. Name Change the default name for the section, if desired. The sheet pile section must provide the following minimum sectional properties after allowance for possible loss of material due to corrosion, abrasion, or other AZ26-700N detrimental effects. Alternatively, use the Paste icon to paste the complete content from an external source into the table. Pile window for Elastic calculation. Required pile cross section for cantilever walls. AZ 28-700 pile top level Enter the top level of the pile in relation to a freely chosen reference level.
