Zusammenfassung: | Sheet pile walls are driven into the ground surface to create a barrier that can withstand lateral earth pressure, hydrostatic pressures and additional pressure from surcharge loads. An experimental and numerical investigation is done in the current study to determine the sheet pile wall behaviour constructed in a sloping terrain with coir geotextile sheets placed in the backfill soil under a surcharge strip load imposed over the backfill surface. The construction of sheet pile walls in the present study involves backfilling soil behind and dredging soil in front of the wall. To incorporate the effect of the construction technique sequential filling of backfill soil and sequential excavation of frontfill soil is done in three stages. A parametric study is performed by varying wall embedded depth, slope angle, position of strip footing, magnitude of strip loading and the number of coir geotextile layers. The investigation results indicate that including coir geotextile in the backfill soil significantly reduces wall deflection, bending moment, and backfill ground settlement. The current study is beneficial since coir geotextiles improve the behaviour of wall and recycling them provides an environmentally sustainable solution. |
