Pile Buck's SPW911 can give very conservative solutions for layered soils and is not very user friendly for soldier beam walls.

Piled Wall Suite by CADS  (UK software house)

RE: sheet pile wall design software

PLAXIS seems to be popular and accepted by many state agents.

RE: sheet pile wall design software

Civiltech makes "Shoring Suite" which is very versital, yet fairly easy to use. It does require some familiarity with sheeting design. I also use SPW911 which is also very good - generates nice reports and is quick for straght forward designs, but I feel for the more complicated loading cases, Shoring works better.

Hii All,
Thanx for the replies. I got the SPW911 software. Heyy DRC1 and anyone who is familiar with that program, can u tell me how do I apply horizontal line load. I tried to find out but I culd not get it.
Thanx,
AT

RE: sheet pile wall design software

Do you mean a horizontal line load to the sheet, other than the support? If so, the answer is that I dont think you can technically define a line load. What you can do is apply a localized increase in pressureover a small length of the sheet. Say you wanted to apply 5 kips per running foot of wall 12 feet below top fo retained ground. You could define a pressure of 10 ksf acting over a depth of 11.75 to 12.25 feet. This should closely model a line load on the sheet. By the way, how do you get this condition?

heyy DRC1,
I wanted to apply a line load of 50plf at the top of a 3.5' railing over the sheet pile wall. this is the requirement for the crash test loading.
thanx,
amit
