Question: Plot the earth pressure diagram for the 1 2 mm thick sheet pile ( Z - section ) and compute the resultant force and its

Plot the earth pressure diagram for the 12 mm thick sheet pile ( Z- section) and compute the resultant force and its location for the sheet pile system and also name each layers soil type. The data for the layers are : Layer 1: Angle of internal friction =32 degree Unit weight =17.2 KN/m3 Saturated Unit weight =18.7 KN/ m3 Void ratio =0.78 This layer is (0.80+0.90) m thick . From upper layer there is a GWT from 0.80 m down and continued to the bottom . Layer 2: Angle of internal friction =0 Cohesion =50 kPa Unit weight =16.5 KN/m3 Saturated Unit weight=17.6 KN/m3 Cc =0.156 This layer is 1.30 m thick Layer 3: Angle of internal friction =14 degreeCohesion =30 kPa Unit weight =18.4 KN/ m3 Saturated unit weight=20.1 KN/m3Cc =0.110 This layer is 3.00 m thick Layer 4: Angle of internal friction =33 degree Cohesion =5 kPa Unit weight =18.0 KN/m3 Saturated unit weight =20.4 KN/m3 Void ratio =0.66 This layer is 2.5 m thick Layer 5 : Angle of internal friction =38 degree Unit weight =17.7 KN/m3 Saturated unit weight =19.5 KN/m3 Void ratio =0.58 This layer is 2.5 m thick Left side of the sheet pile , there is nothing from elevation level to 4.20 m . Right after 4.20 m to the bottom there is a GWT . The dredge line starts from 1.8 m below the GWT.
