The design of sheet piling is the ultimate union of structural and geotechnical design. We offer two invaluable tools to assist you for in the design of these walls:

• The premier reference and "how to" for the design of sheet pile walls is Sheet Pile Design by Pile Buck. Click here for more information and to order this classic--and now completely rewritten--guide to sheet pile design.
• SPW911 v. 2.2 -- the simple to use and versatile computer program for Windows computers for the design of cantilever, anchored and braced sheet pile walls. Click here for more information on this program.

We also offer a "Design Series" which is a reference for the design of sheet pile walls for both static and dynamic (earthquake) loading. These are as follows:

• General Design Considerations for Waterfront Sites
• General Design Considerations for Retaining Walls
• Static Earth Pressures (Yieldling Backfills)
• Dynamic Earth Pressures (Yielding Backfills)
• Earth Pressures on Walls Retaining Non-Yielding Backfills
• Analysis and Design of Anchored Sheet Pile Walls
  • Design Example
• Computation of the Dyamic Active and Passive Earth Pressures Using the Wedge Method
• The Westergaard Procedure for Computing Hydrodynamic Water Pressures Along Vertical Walls During Earthquakes
• Notation for the above documents

Other items are as follows:

• Seepage and Water Flow in Sheet Piling
• Photo Gallery of Sheet Pile Walls
• Design of Anchored Shoring Systems
• Steel Sheet Piling Designs -- over 200 pages of designs and other information from the archives of U.S. and Bethlehem Steel
• Sample U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Specifications (pdf format)
• Sample Sheet Piling Specifications (Anchored, Contractor Designed and Coated Walls)
