• Abstract:
  Cantilevered sheet pile walls are often used adjacent roadways as temporary support during construction. Excess movement of these walls has led to excessive roadway distress causing additional repairs to be necessary. This study assessed the effects of wall section, soil strength, excavation depth, loading types, and proximity of wall to roadway on the distress in the roadway pavement. The primary mode of evaluation was numerical modeling; field verification of the findings was limited. As the strength of asphalt is highly dependent on temperature and age, it was concluded that some distress should be expected in most common scenarios using temporary cantilevered sheet pile walls adjacent active roadways. However, the distress can be minimized using recommendations provided from the study findings.
