To take into account the friction between the wall and the soil we use friction angle δ φ 2.
Cantilever sheet pile wall design example.
The theory behind the design including soil structure interaction and three dimensional considerations is so complex that an exact design is not even attempted when designing sheet pile walls by hand.
In this example we will design a cantilever sheet pile wall supporting a 10 ft excavation.
