I'm working with a cantilever sheet pile wall retaining ~7.5' of earth. The dredge line immediately in front of the wall is level and stays level for 17' measured perpendicular to the wall. Beyond 17', the dredge line slopes down at 2.5:1 slope away from the the wall. At this distance from the...
Thank you all for your replies.
DBNodurf,
Yes, I am aware that CLSM will exert the same pressures horizontally and vertically as a fluid during placement. However, I never intended for the _surcharge_ load to be applied while the CLSM is in a plastic state.
I am looking for the lateral loads...
What is standard practice for determining lateral surcharge effects through a CLSM/flowable fill backfill? Many references indicate the surcharge loads can be reduced or even eliminated, but no one seems stick their neck out and indicate how much reduction is permitted.
