    This document discusses determining the earth pressures, depth, and anchor force for a sheet pile wall. It provides the equations to calculate: 1) the active (Ka=0.333) and passive (Kp=3) earth pressure coefficients; 2) the stresses and pressures at different depths; 3) the depth of the anchor (4.61 ft); 4) the total length of the sheet pile (39.61 ft); and 5) the anchor force (13370.634 lb/ft). Diagrams and step-by-step working are shown.
