SF1=1.5

CRP=COS(RPhi)=0.86603
SRP=SIN(RPhi)=0.5
TRD=TAN(RDelta)=0.19438

For active pressure:
KAct=(CRP/(SQR(SRP*(SRP+CRP*TRD))+1))^2

For passive resistance (unfactored):
KPas=((CRP/(1-SQR(SRP*SRP/CRD))))^2

KPas=KPas/SF1=2.0378
Submerged density of soil
GPrime=GSat-9.81=10.19 kN/m 3
Calculate values for pressure diagram:
Pressure at level of water table P1=Gamma*L1*KAct=23.346 kN/m 2
Pressure at dredge line
P2=(Gamma*L1+GPrime*L2)*KAct
=41.76 kN/m 2
Depth of point of zero pressure below dredge line:
L3=P2/(GPrime*(KPas-KAct))=2.3598 m
Total active pressure:
P=0.5*P1*L1+P1*L2+0.5*(P2-P1)*L2+0.5*P2*L3=297.82 kN per metre run.
Height z of centroid of pressure above point X on diagram:
If Z=0.5*P1*L1*(L1/3+L2+L3)+P1*L2*(L2/2+L3)+0.5*(P2-P1)*L2*(L2/3+L3)
=1517.5
z=(Z+0.5*P2*L3*L3*2/3)/P=5.3557 m
Now to find height L4 it is necessary to solve the cubic equation
(L4)^3+A2*(L4)^2-A3=0, where
A2=1.5*((L1-ADepth)+L2+L3)=16.29
and
A3=3*P*(L1+L2+L3-(z+ADepth))/(GPrime*(KPas-KAct))=277.9
Repeated iteration gives a value of L4 of 3.727 m.
Then
Passive pressure at base of sheet-piling
P8=GPrime*L4*(KPas-KAct)=65.953 kN/m 2
Min.penetration length required
Dm=L3+L4=6.0868 m
Actual penetration depth adopted D=6.0868 m
Tensile force in anchor

Force=P-((KPas-KAct)*GPrime)*L4^2/2
=174.92 kN per m

To calculate the max. bending moment in the sheet-piling we must

find the distance x below ground-water level, where zero shear
occurs; i.e. when A1*x^2+A2*x+A3=0, where
A1=KAct*GPrime/2=1.5344
A2=P1=23.346
A3=P1*L1/2-Force=-121.69
Solving this quadratic equation gives
x=0.5*(SQR(A2^2-4*A1*A3)-A2)/A1
=4.1048 m
Then
Mmax=-P1*L1/2*(x+L1/3)+Force*(x+L1-ADepth)-P1*x^2/2-KAct*GPrime*x^3
/3=588.45
and
Maximum bending moment
Mmax=588.45 kNm per metre.
