Determine the factor of safety against heave on the downstream side of the single-row sheet pile structure shown in Figure 9.30. Use the following soil and design parameters: H1 = 7 m; H2 = 3 m; thickness of permeable layer (T) = 12 m; design depth of penetration of sheet pile (D) = 4.5 m; and (sat = 17 kN/m3.
