sheet pile wall with sloping dedge line away from wall
sheet pile wall with sloping dedge line away from wall
(OP)
I'm working with a cantilever sheet pile wall retaining ~7.5' of earth. The dredge line immediately in front of the wall is level and stays level for 17' measured perpendicular to the wall. Beyond 17', the dredge line slopes down at 2.5:1 slope away from the the wall. At this distance from the wall, should I expect a reduction in the passive pressures on the sheet pile wall due to the slope?
TIA,
