Theoretical Manual for Design of Cellular Sheet Pile Structures (Cofferdams and Retaining Structures)

Abstract

This theoretical manual contains derivations and discussions of procedures for cellular sheet pile cofferdam design. As a companion volume to the planned Engineer Manual, 'Design of Cellular Sheet Pile Structures', it is intended to provide theoretical background for that Engineer Manual as well as to the user of the computer program for cellular-cofferdam design, CCELL. Numerical examples illustrating the design methods' use, along with a broad list of references, are included. Failure modes involving soil-structure interactions are the primary consideration. The approach herein is intended to provide the reader with the basic analysis procedure to be used for a particular failure mode.
