Rule of thumb for Estimating Sheet Pile Length for Cantilevered and Anchored Sheet Pile Lenghts
Rule of thumb for Estimating Sheet Pile Length for Cantilevered and Anchored Sheet Pile Lenghts
(OP)
I am trying to figure out if there is a rule of thumb for estimating the length of a sheet pile that is cantilevered and anchored. Also, is there a particular reference that this discusses this.
Thanks
Thanks





RE: Rule of thumb for Estimating Sheet Pile Length for Cantilevered and Anchored Sheet Pile Lenghts
Cantilevered: 2 * Retained Height (i.e. length = 3 * retained height)
Anchored: 1* Retained Height (i.e length = 2 * retained height)
Hope it helps.

Avscorreia beat me to it.

Cantilevered: "Penetration below the bottom should equal approximately the unsupported height above."
Anchored: Penetration below the bottom should equal between 20% to 75% of the distance from the tie rod to the bottom. Percentage determined by judgment of soil conditions and depth of channel (for waterfront structures).
You can read the exact wording and proper context from the 24th page of "US Steel Sheet Piling Design Extracts", located on my website:

I've created a simple spreadsheet for the calculation of penetration depths for cantilever walls and did a quick parametric study, varying friction angle and getting D/H ratios. If someone is interested, it can be found at the following link:
