Question: A 5 m wide and 12 m deep braced excavation is carried out in sand, as shown in Figure P19.2, where = 18 kN/m
A 5 m wide and 12 m deep braced excavation is carried out in sand, as shown in Figure P19.2, where γ = 18 kN/m3 and ϕ' = 37°. The struts are placed at horizontal spacing of 2.5 m.
a. Determine the strut loads.
b. Determine the required section modulus of the sheet-pile section, assuming σall = 170 MN/m2.
c. Determine the maximum moment for the middle two wales.
