Retaining Wall Design Chart
Retaining Wall Design Chart
(OP)
I am looking for retaining wall design (e.g bored pile wall) charts which allow me to roughly estimate the reqired I value and embedded depth for some given conditons/parameters (i.e. surcharge, angle of friction, retained height).
Does anybody know whether such a design chart is available or does exist??

Thanks for your reply.
However, I have to do preliminary design in an exam....I think it is quite difficult to bring a computer....
Do you have any better solution?

Go to sliderule eras website and download the US Steel sheetpiling design manual. Use Teng's method, it is much simpler than the stanadard method. Assume you have a continous wall, find your maximum moment, and then pick a pile section and spacing that accomidates that moment.
Good Luck

What is Teng's method? It sounds useful but I haven't heard of it......
