Chapter 14, Problem 14.15P
The cross section of a braced cut supporting a sheet pile installation in a clay soil is shown in Figure 14.22. Given: H = 12 m, γclay = 17.9 kN/m3, ϕ = 0, c = 75 kN/m2, and the center-to-center spacing of struts in plan view, s = 3 m.
- a. Using Peck’s empirical pressure diagrams, draw the earth-pressure envelope.
- b. Determine the strut loads at levels A, B, and C.
