Developing a new relation to calculate the length of sheet pile for the embarkment along the river in HCMC. and Mekong Delta

Abstract

     In recent years, we have seen a lot of tremendous damages from the bank erosions of rivers in HCMC. and Mekong Delta. They have caused a great loss, which affected people, property of State and People in the regions. In the past, when designing the sheet pile, we had to choose the length of the sheet pile before, and calculated for examing of stability and deformation of the sheet pile; we never calculated the length of the sheet pile directly. A study to establish a new relation for calculation the length of the sheet pile directly for designing the embarkments to protect the bank erosions is necessary for HCMC and Mekong Delta.
