See Fig. E15b. Step 4: Determine the porewater pressure dis- tribution on the sheet pile wall Divide the front face of the wall into 6 intervals of 7 = 1.17m and the back face into 1 interval, Six intervals were chosen because it is conveni- 70 fentfor the scaling using the scale that wasusedto gg draw the flow net. The greater the intervals, the 4 greater the accuracy. Only one interval is used for the back face of the wall because there iso FIGUREELSp equipotential that meets there.

The distributions of porewater pressure at the front and back ofthe wall are shown in Fig. E1 AE (uy + tn + Eau +4 front face of the wall. The porewater pressure distribution at the back face is a trapezoid and the area is readily calculated.
