RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE CALCULATION AND DESIGN OF ANCHORED METAL SHEET PILE STRUCTURES

RECOMMANDATIONS POUR LE CALCUL ET LA CONCEPTION DES OUVRAGES EN PALPLANCHES METALLIQUES ANCRES

This first updated version gives some recommendations for the design and control of anchored sheet pile structures. It is based on the limit state design method outlined in Circular No. 7-145, dated 19th December 1971: "Common Directives Relating to Structural Design". The following topics are considered: (1) various types of anchored sheet piles; (2) behaviour of these structures (simple passive earth pressure, restraint system, axial stresses); (3) stresses applied to sheet piles (permanent, normal and accidental stresses), and their characteristic value; (4) recommended design and control method; (5) recommendations for the design of sheet pile structures. /TRRL/
