Sheet pile example with DeepXcav

A sheet pile wall example will be analyzed with DeepXcav. The following data is available:

a) Soil properties: Sand, friction angle = 30 degrees, total unit weight 120 pcf, loading modulus of elasticity Eload= 300 ksf, reloading modulus of elasticity Eur = 900 ksf. Ultimate bond resistance for ground anchors 40 psi.

b) Excavation depth: 25 ft, cantilever stage 10ft, ground anchor at 8ft depth at 15 degrees. Reinforced piles spaced at 6ft off center, while pile diameter is 2.5ft. Include 600 psf traffic surcharge 1ft behind the wall for a length of 20ft.

Objective: Design the sheet pile and the ground achors with allowable stress methodology and obtain a wall embedment safety factor of 1.5. Use reinforced concrete and steel rebars.
