Describe the calculation process for determining the tie rod tension force. Q-6. Describe what is usually done for the magnitude of Factor of Safety with respect to passive pressure. Q-7. Describe both why and by how much the depth of sheet pile embedment is "adjusted" in final design. Q-8. Describe how the Maximum Moment in the sheet pile wall is determined. At what depth does the maximum moment occur relative to mud line? Explain why is it not necessary to determine the moment diagram for the entire height of the sheet pile? Q-9. Why is the maximum moment NOT used in determining the size of sheet pile needed? Who was Rowe? Why is it that his method can be applied reliably when determining the sheet pile section size? Q-10. Describe and explain each step of the process by which you take the maximum design Moment. What would be the reduced moment when the Mmax = 192,000 ft.-lbs. and soil are medium compact sands and the p = 14.0?
