%X This thorough review
explores the complexities of geotechnical engineering, emphasizing
soil-structure interaction (SSI). The investigation centers on sheet pile
design, examining two primary methodologies: Limit Equilibrium Methods (LEM)
and Soil-Structure Interaction Methods (SSIM). While LEM methods, grounded in
classical principles, provide valuable insights for preliminary design
considerations, they may encounter limitations in addressing real-world
complexities. In contrast, SSIM methods, including the SSI-SR approach,
introduce precision and depth to the field. By employing numerical techniques
such as Finite Element (FE) and Finite Difference (FD) analyses, these methods
enable engineers to navigate the dynamics of soil-structure interaction. The
exploration extends to SSI-FE, highlighting its essential role in civil
engineering. By integrating Finite Element analysis with considerations </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">for soil-structure interaction, the SSI-FE method
offers a holistic understanding </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">of how structures dynamically interact
with their geotechnical environment. Throughout this exploration, the study
dissects critical components governing SSIM methods, providing engineers with
tools to navigate the intricate landscape of geotechnical design. The study
acknowledges the significance of the Mohr-Coulomb constitutive model while
recognizing its limitations, and guiding practitioners toward informed
decision-making in geotechnical analyses. As the article concludes, it
underscores the importance of continuous learning and innovation for the future
of geotechnical engineering. With advancing technology and an evolving
understanding of soil-structure interaction, the study remains committed to
ensuring the safety, stability, and efficiency of geotechnical structures
through cutting-edge design and analysis techniques.
