Question: vertical sheet pile is to support horizontal backfill 7 . 5 m high of Ka = 0 . 3 6 1 and Kp = 2

vertical sheet pile is to support horizontal backfill 7.5 m high of Ka =0.361 and Kp =2.77. Unit weight of backfill is 18.15 kN/m3/ An anchor bolt is placed 1.2 m below the top of sheet pile (anchor bolt is used to support the wall from active force).
a) Compute the location of zero stress on the sheet pile base from the degree line
b) Compute the minimum length of embedment of sheet pile
c) Compute the tension at the anchor bolt
Answer: a)1.12 m,b)4.13 m c)13.75 kN
