Hi , Just to conclude my previous conversation regarding using SPW 2006 by prof arnold verruijt and not SPW 911, I ahve found the exact soultion for simulating the Blum and would like to share it with ya'll. Since that was my key reason for posting this thread. The SPW program denotes / asks...

There sure is a problem regarding high bending moment using SPW 2006. There is another problem encountered is, while following the construciton sequence ( say for example in 5 loading stages) It then while running says equilibirum is not achieved as results do not converge, but on repeated...

I feel you have to be very carefull in choosing the elastic subgrade modulus, because that is the main key in your design which will depend on the soil stress and displacement criteria. and choosing the right coefficients is the true name of the game!

Well I think that using SPW 2006 gives a good sequence regarding wall Construction phase and also helps in distinguishing the importance of phreatic level of water.

Why is it asked twice? secondly while checking the same results using SPWALL 2006 and also MSHEET, the same profile of sheet pile fails due to high phreatic level which is unidentifiable using PROSHEET. All I am trying to say is PROSHEET is not at all a conclusive software! for an analysis of SPW

Another Interesting point observed in PROSHEET 1) The surcharge Load if entered in the initial stage of INput as Caqout Surcharge = Value (kN/ m2) . And if the same is entered in Boussinesqs then it will calculate the Surcharge twice ( in its calculation of Total Pressure). So basically the...

Just to add to my above thread, while using SPW the software decides the level of phgreatic level for achieving equilibrium of the sheet pile, this seems a bit bizarre to me, because everytime to decide the length of SPW having the desired phreatic level is not in our hands.

I once again appreciate this knowledge of BLUM, but now I am more inclined on the name of the software which I can use or rely upon which exactly follows the BLUM THEORY OF DESIGN. I completely agree with your statement of Boussinesq is completely INDEPENDENT ON Ka. I also agree with in Blum it...

in PROSHEET, it calculates the CROSS FORCE, I suppose that it is done from the total pressure diagram. If I am right, the cross force is calculated by the area of the total pressure diagram, AT THE RESPECTIVE ELEVATION. BTW to Note PROSHEET DOES NOT GIVE THE RIGHT BOUSSINESQS FORMULA BUT ON...

I would like to know for designing a sheet pile wall according to the EAU (german) standards one follows the Corrosion allowance as stated in EAU 2004 please can someone let me know similar refernce in regards with the French standards? Besides if anyone knows about a software MSHEET can u help...

While calling Mr. David borger what reference shud I give him, if I may ask you? Thank You.

Thank you for your Kind Reference. I will call him and talk to him. But I somehow do not quite agree with PROSHEET considering the appropiate soil value for each layer. neverthless will think upon it more. I will aslo ask Mr Borger regarding further information dealing with Corrosion,and the...

Ok I appreciate your comment, fully agree to it, neverthless I have a question for you and will kindly appreciate if you let me know. In Prosheet, when you enter the value for Ka and Kp and similarly the Densities submerged, for example U have a elevation of 6 m and 7m. the soil profile...

Thank you so much, but I already have that manual, besides my main concern is I tried using PROSHEET for calculating the stresses on the Sheet pile, and when compared with my own excel sheet ( simple basics applied to calculate stresses using principles of soil mechanics) they somehow do not...

I would also appreciate if one can share a typical example of a steel sheet pile design using BLUM theory.

I am currently working on dealing with Corrosion issues in European countries with steel sheet piles. The main aspect of my work is harmonization of the design and would like to know before I begin the current problems faced by the working design engineer while dealing with the corrosion...
