Design of wall section æ determine design force for pile the shear and moment distributions on the wall can be constructed from the force diagram first by assuming the wall is rigid with no deflection so that v z z q z dz 0 and m z z v z dz 0 where q v and m are force shear and moment respectively. The selection of a sheet pile shall take into account the choice of the steel grade. Grades of sheet piling steel.

The design procedures included in this manual are in common use today by most engineers involved in the design of sheet pile retaining structures. The basic specification for steel sheet piling in the united states has been astm a 328 published by the american society of testing materials. A sheet pile wall which derives its support solely through interaction with the surround. This grade has been satisfactory for most applications in that it provided a relatively high yield point for design and a high ultimate strength for drivability.

It has an influence on the classification of the sections so that it is not possible to give a simple rule covering all the cases but generally speaking using a higher steel grade higher yield strength leads to a lighter sheet pile hence to a more cost.
