Question: Refer to Figure 18.23. Given L 1 = 3 m, L 2 = 6 m, l 1 = 1.5 m, = 16.5 kN/m 3

Refer to Figure 18.23. Given L1 = 3 m, L2 = 6 m, l1 = 1.5 m, γ = 16.5 kN/m3, γsat = 19.0 kN/m3, and ϕ' = 35°.

a. Find the required depth of the sheet pile, increasing the theoretical estimate by 30%.

b. Determine the force in the tie rods if they are spaced 3 m apart horizontally.

c. Find the maximum bending moment in the sheet pile.
