The overall stability analysis of anchored sheet pile structure is investigated by a theoretical model using the upper-bound method of the limit analysis theory. A translational failure mechanism is considered for the calculation scheme. This mechanism is composed of two rigid blocks in the active zone and the so-called log-sandwich mechanism in the passive zone. The numerical results show good agreement with experimental results obtained from laboratory model tests.
