ANCHOR ROD FORCES AND MAXIMUM BENDING MOMENTS IN SHEET PILE WALLS USING THE FACTORED STRENGTH APPROACH

Recently, the limit states approach using factored strength has been recommended in geotechnical design. Some recent research has indicated that the application of limit states design using recommended load and strength factors leads to conservative designs compared with the conventional methods. In this study the influence of sheet pile wall geometry, type of water pressure distribution, and different methods of analysis on the maximum bending moment and anchor rod force are presented. Recommendations are made to make the factored strength design compatible with conventional design. (A)
