Homework \#6
Given the anchored sheet-pile wall and soil conditions, has the wall been properly designed? Assume sufficient passive resistance is available for each anchor panel (i.e., insufficient anchorage or any type of failure of the anchor is not a possible mode of failure). Show all your work and clearly state all your assumptions. If there is information not given, feel free to use engineering judgement to assume it! Note: the drained shear strength parameters given in the table were performed for the Beaumont Clay in the "section along length of bulkhead" in the figure below. Homework \#6
