Analysis of Depth of Embeded of

Canitlever Protection Pile

1.3 Depth of Embedment of Cantilever Pile

Minimum Depth of Embedment, D ( With SF =1) = D

Rankine active earth pressure coefficient, Ka

α= Cohesion, C = 0
φ= Unit weight of soil,ꝩ = 19 KN/m3
Soil friction, ɸ= 30 ˚
ß= 25 ˚
cos α = 0.91
cos φ = 0.87
Hence Ka = 0.494
Height above ground = 8m
Rankine passive earth pressure coefficient, Kp

Kp = 1.664

K = Kp-Ka = 1.171
Active earth pressure

passive earth pressure the backfill

Dead load surcharge = 5 Kn/m2

Live load surcharge = 5 Kn/m2
Total surcharge, q = 10 Kn/m2
Force due to q, Fq = Ka q ( H+D) =
For equilibrium, the moments of the active pressure on the right and passive
resistance on the left about the left about the point of reaction R must be balance.
1/3 PpD-Pa/3 (H+D) -1/2Fq(H+D) = 0

D= 17 m > 2H ok

Effectice active earthpressure acting against the sheet pile at the dredge line
pa' = ꝩHKa = 75.02594 KN

Force due to q, Fq = 4.935917 KN/m
