Tiebacks/ to find: Design publications,guides or tech.paper
(OP)
Please advise me on where to find Design Publications, design guides or technical papers on Tiebacks. I am confronted with a soils report which indicates the use of tiebacks to aid retaining walls; and I would like to be well informed, unfortunately I have only shadows of ideas on their design.






RE: Tiebacks/ to find: Design publications,guides or tech.paper
I have found the following texts to be most helpfull with the design of tieback systems and many other retained soil applications.
Foundation Analysis by Bowles
Principles of Foundation Engineering by Braja Das
Additionally, it wouldn't hurt to seek information from various tieback manufacturers as well.

I have these two books and I will be trying to get the FHWA repot or similar pub.
in that site.

The Post-Tensioning Institute PTI and Dywidag Systemmes International (DSI) and Williams also have some good literature. See www.alliance.net/~williams
Geotechnical Engineering Consultants should be consulted to determine the soil or rock parameters required for design. The PTI provides specifications for installation and testing of rock anchors. The suppliers of the tie backs DSI, Williams, etc. are usually helpful and may send you the information required.
