Sheet Pile Design Calculation

This document summarizes calculations to determine the total active pressure on a sheet pile wall from soil weight and a surcharge load. It first calculates the soil properties, earth pressure coefficient, and pressure due to soil weight. It then calculates the force due to a strip surcharge load and the total active pressure. Finally, it determines the spring constant for the soil-structure interaction model.
