Transfer Mechanism of Covered Effect for Covered Sheet Pile Wharf

Article Preview

Abstract:

The horizontal section of a covered sheet pile wharf is investigated to indicate that covered effect includes soil arch effect on land and soil pile interaction. Transfer formula for horizontal thrust acting on the plane of covered sheet pile on land and the method of horizontal earth pressure are derived. Based on the observational data of 32# berth in covered sheet pile wharf at Jingtang Port, the method of horizontal earth pressure is verified to be rational. Representative soil layer is analyzed to demonstrate that the difference in covered effect decreases with increasing pile spacing; covered effect decreases with increasing section width; covered effect increases with increasing section length.
