In Problem 18.4, find the maximum bending moment in the sheet pile and determine the required section modulus, assuming an allowable stress of 190 MN/m².

Problem 18.4

A 5 m deep excavation is required in a dry sand where γ = 17.5 kN/m³ and ϕ' = 32° (see Figure 18.11). Determine the actual depth to which the sheet pile has to be driven and the required section (from Table 18.1), assuming allowable stress of 190 MN/m². Use the net pressure diagram.
