Sheet Pile Design by Pile Buck
The standard reference on sheet pile wall design
First published in 1986 as the Pile Buck Steel Sheet Piling Design Manual, this book covers sheet pile wall design from soil mechanics and earth pressures to anchors, cofferdams, cellular structures, and corrosion. It includes seismic design, high modulus walls, and non-steel sheet piling.

From the introduction
When it was first published in 1986, the Pile Buck Steel Sheet Piling Design Manual quickly became the standard manual for sheet piling design. It came at a time when the manufacturers’ published manuals on the subject were rapidly becoming a thing of the past, in the U.S. at least.
There are few design elements of geotechnical engineering where the geotechnical and structural aspects of the design are so closely intertwined. Sheet piling does in fact have a sort of “structural art” all of its own, especially when properly installed.
