Chapter 15, Problem 15.26CTP
Figure 15.53 below shows a cantilever sheet pile driven into a granular soil where the water table is 2 m below the top of the sand. The properties of the sand are: ϕ' = 40°, γm = 17.5 kN/m3, and γsat = 19 kN/m3. It is proposed to excavate to a depth of 6 m below the ground level. Determine the depth to which the sheet pile mast be driven, using the net lateral pressure diagram.
