Corps-Wide Conference on Computer-Aided Design in Structural Engineering. Volume IX. Sheet Pile Walls and T-Walls,
Abstract
SHEET PILE WALLS - Cantilever and tieback sheet pile walls can be used for retaining walls and floodwalls. A cantilever sheet pile wall is a continuous diaphragm of interlocking sheet piling supported against lateral loads only by the soil around it. A tieback sheet wall has the same components and is supported by the surrounding soil and exterior supports. The two types of sheet pile walls are compared for suitability in various applications. Earth pressure design methods (free earth support and fixed earth support) and the flexible soil support method are compared. These design techniques are all suitable for computer applications. A listing of available computer programs is included. INVERTED T-TYPE FLOODWALLS AND CANTILEVER T-TYPE RETAINING WALLS - Corps of Engineers criteria for the design/analysis of inverted T-type reinforced concrete cantilever floodwalls and retaining walls are summarized. A list of all T-wall computer programs in use throughout the Corps of Engineers is enclosed. CADSE Conference discussions concerning inverted T-type walls are summarized. (Author)
