Vertical equilibrium of a sheet pile wall suspended in the slurry slot

Schematic sketch, force effects and stresses
Usually authoritative proof for vertical equilibrium analysis:
Circular cut around the earth-side half of the sealing diaphragm wall incl. sheet piling (internal system)
Pv + Av + Eav + GDW + GSPW ≤ 1 / η * ∫ ΤSVu dA1 + 1 / η * (d/2 * 1,0 *qu)
Of particular importance:
- Shear bond sheet pile wall - sealing wall material
- Shear bond = friction bond + adhesive bond
- Compressive strength of sealing wall compound - adhesive bond between sheet piling and sealing wall compound
