Temporary earth retention design - please suggest references
(OP)
Hi all - I'm new to eng-tips. What a fantastic resource.
After a few years away from design, it looks like I'll be doing some design again, mostly in the temporary earth retention area. It's for my new employer, a bridge contractor, and the earth retention is going to be probably nothing more than sheet piling or H-piles/lagging.
I have some previous exposure to this type of engineering, but am looking for someone to recommend any useful publications on this. I mostly need to refresh myself on this type of design work. I have Geotechnical Engineering by Braja Das, Foundation Engineering by Braja Das, as well as all my steel and timber design references.
Would The Handbook of Temporary Structures by Rattay be any good? Any other references that anyone could recommend?

Note that designing temporary work is different than designing permenant work.
Good Luck

Also, any of you have a copy of the US Steel Sheet Pile Design Manual? Same thing - I have gone through it and have a question for you and maybe you can help me.
