Settlement Q.5 An anchored sheet pile wall is used to carry out excavation to construct a tunnel with the cut and cover method in a granular soil. The depth of excavation $$\mathrm{H}$$ is $$8\mathrm{m}$$ and the width of excavation B is $$15\mathrm{m}$$. The shear strength $${?}^{?}$$ of the soil is $$35^{?}$$. Assume you have analyzed the problem and obtained a pile deflection profile that gives a deflection area of $$85,000{\mathrm{mm}}^2$$. By using the Bowles' Method, estimate the maximum settlement of the ground. $$(20\%)$$
