Study on the depth of cantilever sheet pile wall based on the type of soil where sheet pile embedded

Abstract
The northern part of Semarang is known as a region having a thick depth of soft clay. In the construction of sheet pile wall for Terboyo Retention Pond dike Semarang must take into account stability aspect and financial aspect. The characteristic of granular soil is different from that of cohesive soil, and the stability aspect relies on the type of soil. This study aims to investigate the influence of the type of soils where sheet pile embedded to the theoretical depth of cantilever sheet pile wall. This research used the soil data from Terboyo Retention Pond of Semarang. Modelling of wall was differentiated based on the type of soil where sheet pile embedded whereas the type of soil above the dredge line was the same. Two type of soils where sheet pile embedded, clay and sand were modelled. The variation of soil parameters of both soils was also modelled. Safety factor for clay soil was taken 1.5. The result shows that different soil in which wall embedded give significant difference of length of sheet pile. Based on N-SPT, with the same N-SPT value theoretical depth of cantilever sheet pile wall in sand soil is deeper than that of in clay soil.
