A cantilever sheet pile is 8.2 m long with depth of embedment of 3.2 m. Angle of friction of the soil supported by the sheet pile is 34° and has a unit weight of 1.91 g/cc. There is water table below the base of the sheet pile. SIT AA. a. Compute the active force acting on the sheet pile. b. Compute the passive force acting on the sheet pile. c. Compute the theoretical passive force that must be mobilized to ensure stability.
