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 achor rod force are presented. Recommendations are made to make the factored strength design compatible with conventional design. Key words: factored strength, working stress design, ultimate limit state design, anchored sheet pile wall, bending moment, anchor rod force.

In this study, the stability of anchored cantilever sheet pile wall in sandy soils is investigated using reliability analysis. Targeted stability is formulated as an optimization problem in the framework of an inverse first order reliability method. A sensitivity analysis is conducted to investigate the effect of parameters influencing the stability of sheet pile wall. Backfill soil properties, soil – steel pile interface friction angle, depth of the water table from the top of the sheet pile wall, total depth of embedment below the dredge line, yield strength of steel, section modulus of steel sheet pile, and anchor pull are all treated as random variables. The sheet pile wall system is modeled as a series of failure mode combination. Penetration depth, anchor pull, and section modulus are calculated for various target component and system reliability indices based on three limit states. These are: rotational failure about the position of the anchor rod, expressed in terms of moment ratio; sliding failure mode, expressed in terms of force ratio; and flexural failure of the steel sheet pile wall, expressed in terms of the section modulus ratio. An attempt is made to propose reliability based design charts considering the failure criteria as well as the variability in the parameters. The results of the study are compared with studies in the literature.

In this paper, high-piled wharf is reinforced with a view to studying how the wharf dredging renovation affects its structure. As regarding the problem that the original balance of the bank slope is destroyed after upgrading, two retrofit schemes that set sheet pile wall at anterior wharf and low-piled caps at surcharge area are conducted to analyze the bank slope deformation and the inter force before and after wharf retrofit by means of three-dimensional finite element models. The analysis shows that for the scheme of setting sheet pile wall at front wharf, the inter force of the anterior pile station reduced while that of the post pile station near the stack area remains large. For the other scheme, the bending moment of the pile that closes to stack area significantly decreases after setting low pile caps. If both schemes are adopted coherently, the reinforcement effects to the anterior and post pile stations would be improved greatly.

Steel sheet pile wall corrosion in soils and water is a complex phenomenon. The deterioration of these structures is costly and difficult to predict. The aim of this paper was to deal some empirical corrosion models which are analyzed and compared to Eurocode 3, Part 5 to estimate corrosion rate and the loss of thickness of anchored steel sheet pile wall. The results show that care should be taken to ensure that the maximum bending moments do not occur at the same level as the main corrosion zones. Furthermore, it is possible to define an upper and a lower bound, corresponding respectively to the presence of sea water in low water and the undisturbed natural soils, in order to predict the loss of thickness due to corrosion.

Using the finite element analysis program ABAQUS, a series of calculations on a cantilever beam, pile, and sheet pile wall were made to investigate the bending moment computational methods. The analyses demonstrated that the shear locking is not significant for the passive pile embedded in soil. Therefore, higher-order elements are not always necessary in the computation. The number of grids across the pile section is important for bending moment calculated with stress and less significant for that calculated with displacement. Although computing bending moment with displacement requires fewer grid numbers across the pile section, it sometimes results in variation of the results. For displacement calculation, a pile row can be suitably represented by an equivalent sheet pile wall, whereas the resulting bending moments may be different. Calculated results of bending moment may differ greatly with different grid partitions and computational methods. Therefore, a comparison of results is necessary when performing the analysis.
