“…Many researchers have studied the load-deformation behavior of sheet pile walls and soldier pile walls embedded in a variety of soil conditions (Rowe, 1951(Rowe, , 1952(Rowe, , 1955Tsinker, 1983;and Nataraj and Hoadley, 1984;Schriver and Valsangkar, 1996; Georgiadis and Anagnostopoulos, 1998;Guerra et al, 2004;Madabhushi and Chandrasekaran, 2005;Sheng et al, 2006;Cardoso et al, 2006).

Normalized, non-dimensional relationships for calculating the depths of embedment of sheet pile walls and soldier pile walls embedded in cohesionless soils are presented. Rankine theory for lateral earth pressures in active and passive conditions are used in the analyses. Relationships are presented for cantilever walls and walls propped at crest. The proposed relationships can be used in dry soil conditions and as well as in saturated soil conditions with steady state seepage. The embedment depth relationships are presented in terms of non-dimensional parameters and can be used for a variety of soil conditions, dimensions and spacing of the walls, and depths of excavation. The presented relationships are simple, easy to use, and do not require tedious calculations.

“…A follow-up research [9] on the methodology of minimising the vertical corrugated bulkhead weight of a chemical tanker was completed, which showed an estimated weight reduction of 9.3%. Using laboratory experiments and theoretical analysis, researchers [10] demonstrate that overall active pressure generally does not surpass the calculated active pressure exerted on bulkheads, but instead focuses on and divides between the anchors and in the region of the pile.…”

Demand for improvement in shipbuilding is increasing and due to this many manufacturing industries are developed rapidly and come up with very advanced designs and development in this field. Specifically, there is a good scope for improvements in the structure of the Class 6 catamaran hull spine beam. Usually, the multihull catamaran operates beyond its design specifications and due to unforeseen winds, waves, and deteriorating weather, the hull spine beam faces more impacts what leads to failure and weakening after decades of sustained operation. The analysis results obtained in this paper show great improvement in the design of the catamaran hull spine beam, which would give an idea of overall improvement in catamaran design and its performance. The design methods for developing catamaran and bulkheads are considered in the study. The whole analysis is performed on ANSYS software by following step by step simulation procedure using the FEM methodology. At first, simulation of simple the 3D model without considering bulkheads is done and results are observed. In the next steps, bulkheads are added to the spine beam at equal distance in a sequence of 1,3,5,7, and 9 along the beam. The obtained results confirm that adding more and more bulkheads makes the structure bulky, but adding it up to a certain level helps reduce maximum Von-Mises stress by 75.9% and total deformation of the spine beam by 70.9%, which makes the structure more rigid and essentially improves the strength of the catamaran hull spine beam.
