Permanent Sheet Piling Design with NO soil information.
Permanent Sheet Piling Design with NO soil information.
(OP)
I am new to the design side of things and was just assigned a permanent sheet piling wing-wall design, but I do not have any soil information.
It is at all possible to design it? My first thought is no, but seeing as how I have limited experience in this arena (of design) I am hoping someone out there will have some advice/good direction for me to go.
Thank you in advance

To be more detailed here is what I have.
I have an existing bridge and the wingwalls are failing. The owner (state) would like to obviously replace the wingwalls while maintaining the structure and it was suggested that they could be replaced with permanent sheet piling. This would minimize the efforts to replace them. (i.e. - no/temporary lane closures, little if any excavation, etc...)
An additional challenge with this structure is that it is already experiencing significant scour at one end.
I don not feel comfortable at all even attempting to start this design without soil information. However, I want to exhaust any efforts to make sure there isn't another approach I can take to get the design done!
