A series of nonlinear, explicit finite difference analyses were performed to determine the dynamic response of a cantilever retaining wall subjected to earthquake motions. This article outlines the calibration and validation of the numerical model used in the analyses and comparisons are presented between the results from the finite difference analyses and results from simplified techniques for...

Sheet pile walls are flexible retaining structures that used to hold the horizontal soil pressures behind them, especially in situations cause stress changes such as excavation. They divided into two cantilever and externally supported. Cantilever excavations with a maximum depth of 6 meters supported by anchors deeper than this. Some values be calculated design sheet embedment bending moment t...
