Sheet pile wall is a type of retaining wall that is frequently used due to its simple, fast, and easy construction. These structures are most functional in slope stabilization and especially in construction of quay walls. Uncertainties lead to imprecise analysis and inefficient design of sheet pile walls which result in significant risks. Inaccuracies may occur in input parameters and construction operations simultaneously or separately. In this research, we investigated the reliability of sheet pile walls penetrating into sand under uncertainties.
