Abstract
Presents 13 recommended cross-sections for prestressed concrete sheet piles, establishes standards for selecting optimum prestress, and makes a detailed analysis of sheet piling with interior transverse supports to meet optimum criteria. Ultimate strength design equations are developed for both symmetrical and eccentric prestressing.
