Abstract In the previous chapter a procedure has been presented for the determination of the minimum length of a sheet pile wall, needed to ensure equilibrium. This method is such that whenever the wall is shorter than that minimum length, no equilibrium is possible, and the wall will certainly fail. This suggests that it is advisable to choose the length of the wall somewhat larger than the minimum length, as a total failure of the wall would be disastrous. If the length is taken somewhat larger than required, the bending moments may perhaps be somewhat reduced. A method of analyzing the deformation and bending of the wall has been developed in the 1950s by the German engineer H. Blum. This method is presented in this chapter, including a simple computer program.
