design Anchor force on SLOPE W
(OP)
Hello,
I am analysing an excavation using SLOPE-W.
About 1 m off the top of the 10 m excavation there is a 4 story building.
According to the results i get from Slope W, I need to use any kind of earth retaining system (FS<1) on the excavation in order to make is stable (e.g anchors, nails, etc).
My question is, how could i obtain the design anchor force from SLOPE W? Is there any way to do so? Or will I need to enter several anchor force values until I get the Factor of safety i am looking for?
Please let me know.

On another note, if you use grout anchors in the upper strata, there is a potential that the adjacent building could move up by inches.

We are planning to deal with anchors as due to the site restrictions a small anchor drilling machine will be more accesible than any slurry wall drill rig, or secant piles drill rig.
I don't see very clearly the required anchor force from SLOPE W. I see the free body diagram force from each slice, but no information is given regarding any additional force required to stabilize the slope. Or maybe slope W doesn't show any information at all.
What I think is there should be an easier way instead of assigning an anchor forces and trying to chase the FS you are looking for. Mayeb it would be easier if I try another software, any ideas?
The adjacent building is 1 m off the slope, consolidation is not necessary as the soil profile is silty sand (SM), with n values between 10 and 20.

Chapter 7 of this book covers your topic better than any other book I have read:

Alternatively, you can get SoilStructure.com Lateral Stress Software Program to do this analysis for you.

I will try to get both CivilTech Software's Shoring Suite and
SoilStructure, to see how they work.
Thanks again
