Abstract: The state of the art of sheet pile bulkheads design and investigation is reviewed. Using some examples of relatively recent large scale model tests and full scale investigations it is shown that the Coulomb Theory of earth lateral pressure against retaining structures with some empirical modifications could be used in design of anchored sheet pile bulkheads. However, in some cases of full scale investigations of anchored bulkheads it was found that the value of lateral soil pressure exceeded the value of minimum active pressure, as determined by Coulomb Theory, and it was close to “at rest” pressure. This phenomenon is explained by the soil “heredity” effect.
