1. An anchored sheet pile wall is driven in clay. The soil profile and water table are shown in the following figure. The thickness of sand is 10 m, and its properties are o' = 32°, y = 16 kN/m³ Ysat = 18 kN/m³. The properties of clay are C₁ = 35 kN/m², Ysat = 18.0 kN/m³. The surcharge on the surface is 200 kN/m². , (1) Determine the theoretical depth of the sheet pile wall by using free earth support method. (2) Calculate the anchor force (F) per unit length of the wall. q = 200 kN/m² 2 m Anchor Sand Water table y= 16 kN/m³ $1' = 32° 5 m Sand Ysat 18 kN/m³ $2' = 32° 5 m D Clay Ysat = 18 kN/m³ Cu = 35 kN/m2 Fig. 1
