Abstract
This paper presents the result of an experimental study conducted for evaluating the effect of depth and distance of adjacent footing on the behaviour of cantilever sheet pile wall. Model sheet pile wall tests have been performed in the medium dense sand. Lateral load on sheet pile wall is obtained by four proving rings attached to the sheet pile wall along with its depth, with the help of four titanium hollow pipes. The lateral load coming onto the sheet pile wall is observed decreasing with increasing depth of footing and distance of footing from the wall face. The position of footing from the sheet pile wall and depth of footing have been varied in this study. The footing is placed at 20, 40, 60 and 80 cm from the wall face at the backfill side with three different depths of footing (at surface, 7.5 cm, 15 cm) in different cases. The effect of sequential excavation has also been presented in this paper.
