SHEETPILE CELL FILLING: FINITE ELEMENT MODEL VERIFICATION FOR TWO CASE HISTORIES
Cellular sheetpile structures are used as temporary cofferdams to keep construction activities dry and as permanent bulkheads. Successful design ensures that allowable sheetpile interlock tensions are not exceeded during cell filling operations. For two cellular cofferdam case histories, axisymmetric finite element analyses were performed to estimate main and arc cell fill pressures and arc cell tensions. Results of the analyses are compared with field strain gage data and conventional predictions of main and common wall interlock tensions.
