A long trench is excavated in medium dense sand for the foundation of a multistorey building. The sides of the trench are supported with sheet pile walls fixed in place by struts and wales as shown in Fig. Ex. 20.17. The soil properties are: 7 = 18.5kN/m³, c = 0 and = 38° Determine: (a) pressure distribution on the walls with respect to depth. (b) Strut loads. The struts are placed horizontally at distances L = 4 m center to center. (c) The maximum bending moment for determining the pile wall section. (d) The maximum bending moments for determining the section of the wales.
