A sheet pile bulkhead for a shipping channel is used to support a fill that extends 25ft higher than the channel bottom. The fill and channel bottom consist of granular soil with unit weight y of 120pcf and friction angle pf 35o. Determine the required depth of sheet pile embedment, using the free earth-support method (ref. Figure). The wall anchor (tieback) will be 5 ft below the top of the fill, and the design depth for the channel water is 18 ft. Koyz Deflection KpyD
