TheRick109, so just so I’m understanding this correctly, if I have a strip load of 900psf over 3ft. I would enter q as 900psf knowing that the program will apply a factor of 2 to the pressure? Or are you saying I enter q/2 (450psf)?
I applied a strip load to my wall design in Prosheet using the Boussinesq loading option. Comparing the results with CWALSHT, I noticed that Prosheet produced an embedment 50% longer than CWALSHT results and a maximum moment more than 3 times that calculated by CWALSHT. I did some research and...
I have some confusion over how to apply these load conditions appropriately when designing a sheet pile wall. As I understand it, a drained soil condition assumes there is no pore pressure behind the wall and total unit weight values are used. The location of the water table is not needed. In...
I downloaded Prosheet yesterday (which was free) but when I tried to set up a cantilevered wall I could only define an anchored wall. Maybe I need to go back and look more carefully. I looked at AmRetain also by Arcelor Mittal which requires a license but it’s cheaper than SPW911. Any other...
I've done some straight forward sheet pile design in the past for bulkhead and shoring applications using CWALSHT. I have looked for a safe place to download this software online and cannot find it. My question is:
(1) Does anyone know how I can go about getting a hold of this program?
(2) Or...
