Which loading case:
(a)After construction of the canal but prior to filling with water. In this case there is no water table present in the embankment.
b). When the canal is full of water and some steady seepage into the embankment is established, giving the water table shown in Figure 1.
c). When, after a period of use, the canal is drained for maintenance and the water table in the embankment coincides with the base of the canal.
is most critical for the design of the sheet piles?

However, it seems to me that 1 and 3 are thevsame, and most critical.

case d) Rapid Drawdown - the canal is drained quickly, the embankment is saturated and the water level in the canal is low

Like "msquared48" said loading case A and C is very much similar.
