DIRECT - READING NOMOGRAMS FOR DESIGN OF ANCHORED SHEET - PILE RETAINING WALLS

TWO NOMOGRAMS BASED ON THE EQUIVALENT BEAM METHOD ARE GIVEN. THESE ARE INTENDED FOR THE DIRECT DESIGN OF ANCHORED SHEET-PILE RETAINING WALLS IN COHESIONLESS HOMOGENEOUS SOILS HAVING PHI = 30 OR 35 DEGREES THROUGHOUT. AN EXAMPLE IS GIVEN TO SHOW THE METHOD OF USING THE NOMOGRAMS. /RRL/
