Try the Caltrans Shoring and Trenching Manual. Note, though, that shoring movement checks aren't performed, but you should perform one anyway.
If you want you can place a waler between piles and a raker every 14 feet with a roll chock. This will help excavation activity (more space for excavator).
Are you adjacent to an existing building? Prefer tiebacks over rakers in this situation.

VictorAK,
The raker acts as a strut (assuming that you've sized it correctly for the required loads). It's a straightforward problem for a nongravity wall. See FHWA guidance for determining braced wall earth pressures and anchor/strut loads here:
Most use software to perform the wall analysis.
