Abstract
This thesis deals with detailed numerical analyses of the behaviour of a sheet pile wall. The project contains three main parts, each investigating a subject of a sheet pile wall. The first part concerns the design of a retaining wall, as multiple theories applicable to the design of the wall exist. A handful of analytical methods are chosen and compared to a numerical approach. The second part investigates the load transferal between the anchor and the sheet pile considering the ULS case. The design of the load bearing plate and the dimensions of the sheet pile wall are analysed. Furthermore, focus will be on the optimisation process of the numerical analyses in order to reduce computational time. The last part deals with deformations of a sheet pile wall. A study of the geotechnical parameters is performed to investigate the influence of the parameters on the deformations of the wall. Additionally, a field example is compared to an optimised numerical model focusing on fitting the model to make a proper approximation of the behaviour of the wall.
