| Abstract: | Sheet piles are commonly used structures in civil engineering to enhance the stability of dikes. However, installing sheet piles impacts the overall sustainability and costs. The goal is to reduce the sheet pile length in the engineering phase. More sheet pile use requires production, transportation, and construction activities, which impact sustainability and costs. Also, the dike has to maintain its strength, specifically in this research, the macro-stability failure mechanism is treated. This research employs the FEM software PLAXIS and machine learning tool: GrainLearning for the optimization of sheet pile designs. The case study is located on a sand dike in Terwolde, near a pumping station. |
