Stability analysis of cellular structures made of flat metal sheet piles
Introduction. Cellular structures are internationally used as temporary and permanent structures. They are made of interconnected sheet piles forming adjacent cells, and they are usually filled with backfilling soil. When cellular structures are used as cofferdams, massive cells (1) make the use of c...
