This tool analyses the capacity of anchored sheet piles under applied earth pressure. It employs the Net Available Passive Resistance method (Burland) and follows Eurocode 7. Active earth pressures exerted on a retaining wall are calculated, assuming drained conditions and a groundwater level at the surface.

Anchored Sheet Pile Design by Empirical Method and Eurocode 7 is an online tool for evaluating the capacity of anchored sheet piles under applied earth pressure. Utilizing the Net Available Passive Resistance method, developed by Burland, and adhering to Eurocode 7 standards, this tool calculates the active earth pressures applied to retaining walls. It assumes drained conditions and considers the groundwater level at the surface, making it a comprehensive and reliable resource for design professionals.
This tool is for:
- Geotechnical Engineers who need precise calculations for the stability of anchored retaining walls under various earth pressures.
- Structural Designers working with sheet piles and retaining structures, who require compliance with Eurocode 7 standards.
- Construction Engineers responsible for designing anchor systems, ensuring that they meet industry standards for safety and performance.
By creating a standardized technical report, this tool allows engineers to work efficiently and confidently, supporting accurate design processes for anchored retaining structures.

FAQs
What factors determine the capacity of ground anchors?
The capacity of ground anchors depends on soil type, anchor material, installation method, and surrounding environmental conditions. Anchors are designed to counteract forces from earth pressures and other external loads.
What are common applications of ground anchors?
Ground anchors are commonly used in retaining walls, foundation stabilization, slope reinforcement, and in structures subject to lateral earth pressures or uplift forces.
What role does Eurocode 7 play in ground anchor design?
Eurocode 7 provides standardized methods and parameters for geotechnical design, ensuring safety and uniformity across designs. It helps engineers assess earth pressures, load factors, and safety measures accurately.
