DEVELOPING A NEW RELATION TO CALCULATE THE LENGTH OF SHEET PILE FOR PROTECTING THE WAY TO THE BRIDGES OR SETTLEMENTS IN HCM AND MEKONG DELTA

Abstract

The infracstructures to wake up the protential of economic development for the country's largest rice producing region have been rapidly built in Mekong Delta such as My Thuan Bridge, Can Tho Bridge, IA National Highway and so on. In the past, when designing the sheet pile, we had to choose the length of the sheet pile first, then calculate to check the stability and deformation of the sheet pile. The length of the pile sheet cannot be calculated directly. A study to establish a new relation for calculating the length of the sheet pile directly to protect the ways to bridges and settlements is necessary for HCMC and flooded Mekong Delta areas.
