ProSheet 2.2 06-06 Design software for sheet pile retaining walls

1

Introduction ProSheet 2.2 Design program developped in collaboration with the Sheet Piling department of ARCELOR COMMERCIAL RPS: • allows quick dimensionning of steel sheet pile retaining walls • designed for simple structures and pre-dimensionning (refer to chapter “ possibilities “)

• geotechnical knowledge / backround required (definition of soil characteristics / calculation of retaining walls)

The results produced by this method have to be checked carefully by the user in order to make sure that modelization of the soil-structure interaction is accurate enough. 2

Introduction (...) Calculation method: • Fixed earth support according theory of Dr. Blum • Limit earth pressure - earth resistance Ka / Kp (Caquot / Kerisel)

Three static systems are possible: • Cantilever • Free earth support with one layer of anchor or struts • Fixed earth support with one layer of anchor or struts (Blum)

3

General informations • Installation and configuration – Two languages are possible (F or GB) ° separate directories if both versions are installed – Configuration: decimal symbol = " . " (see also "Read-me" / evtl. use "French-Switzerland") – Metric or imperial units • Convention (see also "Help"-File) – Levels º positive downwards, refered to level ± 0.00 º negative upwards – Wall friction angle (to be introduced manually) º Earth pressure : δa = positive º Earth resistance : δp = negative 4

Possibilities • Continuous sheet pile wall design with: – 1 retaining level (anchorage or struting) – rear anchor wall – simulation of construction stages NOT possible Be careful: construction stage could guide the design ! – catalogues of ARCELOR sections ° AU, PU, AZ, Coldformed OSP ° not included: HZ-AZ combined wall system • Various options – uniforme surcharge load of type Caquot – lineare surcharge load of type Boussinesq – concentrated forces – additional pressures on the wall

Dimensionning of main wall Three static systems are possible

Cantilever wall Hrecom.: 5 à 6 m Mbend Ê / fmax Ê length Ê

Anchored / strutted wall free earth support Mbend. Ê / R Ê minimum pile length 6

Anchored / strutted wall fixed earth support Mbend. Ì / R Ì longer pile than free meth.

Dimensionning of anchor wall Two static systems are possible - free earth support

- fixed earth support Ra,h

Assuming identical soil conditions and tieback load: deeper anchor level Ö sheet pile length Ì

higher anchorage level Ö sheet pile length Ê

Chosen system depends for ex. on construction stages, installation possibilities, a.s.o. 7

Restrictions • Not included options: – partial coefficients (SLS / ULS, Eurocodes) – seismic effects ⇒ design values to be introduced manually • and: – distance between main and anchor wall (Kranz, Jelinek, …) – slip cercle analysis (Bishop, …) – hydraulic failure – discharge through interlocks ⇒ Use different software

Design data

ƒ Soil level ƒ Water level ƒ Uniform surcharge load ƒ Earth support ƒ Continue with ‘ Soil Layers ’ ƒ Don’t clic directly on ‘OK’

ƒ Fill in at least : ‘GeoData’ / ‘Soil Layers’ / ‘Pile Section’ 13

Soil Layers

(1/3)

ƒ Soil characteristics: γ / ϕ / δ / c’

ƒ Add or delete soil layers ƒ Note : Layer Tip = lower level of soil layer

14

Soil Layers (2/3)

Important: ƒ Put lowest soil level deeper than assumed embedment depth ƒ δp = negative ƒ Check if automatic calculation for Kph is activated

15

Soil Layers (3/3) ƒ Copy from ‘Layers in front’ to ‘Layers behind’ ƒ Change signe of δa ƒ Check if automatic calculation for Kah is activated

16

Concentrated loads: vertical, horizontal

ƒ Loads are positive downwards resp. to the left
