Lateral Behavior of a Double Sheet Pile Wall Structure

A theoretical analysis was performed on the lateral behavior of double sheet pile wall structures. The analysis considers an elastic equilibrium of forces acting on a horizontal slice cut from the over-all structure to introduce the basic equations on the deflection of sheet piles. Then these equations were solved for the six cases of simple boundary conditions. Of all the solutions thus obtained two cases were compared with experimental results. The agreement was found out to be fairly satisfactory except that some measured values- have appeared much higher.
