I'm confused why for PE we are calculating active and passive pressure at the bottom of the sheet pile when in reality, we should do it at the point of rotation. Any justification for this assumption?
i struggle tu understand that aswell; the formula for PE only holds if instead of D he would have (D-z), where z is the distance between the point of rotation and the tip of the wall; and same for PJ, why does he consider to have passive pressure over the depth D, when in reality the passive pressure is acting only on the "z" distance, while the active pressure is (h+D-z)
The dog had me go out to check if there was a burglar. LMAO
That's some goooood geotech. Thanks!
isn't there will be discontinuity in forces at point of rotation.

Is Z = height of point of rotation from bottom plane J? Anyone?
yea,
im very confused tho with his calculation of PE and PJ;
Thank you so much.. this is the 3rd lecture
