Cantilever Pile Embedment Depth Analysis

This document analyzes the minimum depth of embedment for a cantilever pile. It calculates values for the Rankine active and passive earth pressure coefficients based on soil properties. It then uses these coefficients along with surcharge loads, soil unit weight, and pile height to calculate the effective active earth pressure and force due to the surcharge loads through equations enforcing equilibrium of moments. The minimum calculated depth of embedment is 17m.

Analysis of Depth of Embeded of

Canitlever Protection Pile

1.3 Depth of Embedment of Cantilever Pile

Minimum Depth of Embedment, D ( With SF =1) = D


Rankine active earth pressure coefficient, Ka

α= Cohesion, C = 0
φ= Unit weight of soil,ꝩ = 19 KN/m3
Soil friction, ɸ= 30 ˚
ß= 25 ˚
cos α = 0.91
cos φ = 0.87
Hence Ka = 0.494
Height above ground = 8m
Rankine passive earth pressure coefficient, Kp

Kp = 1.664

K = Kp-Ka = 1.171
Active earth pressure

passive earth pressure the backfill

Dead load surcharge = 5 Kn/m2


Live load surcharge = 5 Kn/m2
Total surcharge, q = 10 Kn/m2
Force due to q, Fq = Ka q ( H+D) =
For equilibrium, the moments of the active pressure on the right and passive
resistance on the left about the left about the point of reaction R must be balance.
1/3 PpD-Pa/3 (H+D) -1/2Fq(H+D) = 0

D= 17 m > 2H ok

Effectice active earthpressure acting against the sheet pile at the dredge line
pa' = ꝩHKa = 75.02594 KN

Force due to q, Fq = 4.935917 KN/m
