Moment slab on Sheet Pile wall
Moment slab on Sheet Pile wall
(OP)
Does anyone have a design example or other reference for for a concrete traffic barrier/moment slab atop a sheet pile wall resisting live load impact? The concept would be similar to a barrier mounted on top of an MSE wall.
I am looking to be able to assess stability of the barrier/slab and correctly transfer the impact forces into the sheet pile.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I'm familiar with the AASHTO requirements, but I thought there might me something more to a moment slab/barrier system. Is it feasible to assume that there is some resistance to the horizontal force by friction between the slab and the subgrade?

Friction would help prevent the moment slab from sliding but that force would push on the dirt which would push on the wall (as I said above).
