Hi everyone,

I'm currently developing a numerical model to evaluate the effects of ground settlement due to underground construction. There is a steel sheet pile which will be subjected to the settlements. Is there any way of predicting the declutching of the sheet pile panels by either strain or axial force normal to the connections? Thanks for the help
