ABSTRACT
Example 20.7 Determine the depth of embedment and the force in the tie rod of the anchored bulkhead shown in Fig. Ex. 20.7(a). The backfill above and below the dredge line is sand, having the following properties
Gs =2.67, Ysat =18 kN/m3, Yd =13 kN/m3 and l/J =30° Solve the problem by the free-earth support method. Assume the backfill above the water
table remains dry.
