Depth of a Soldiers in a Pile Wall
Depth of a Soldiers in a Pile Wall
(OP)
I have looked for references to the design of a "temporary" soldier pile wall and cannot find what I am looking for. I am looking for the calculations to find the depth below the surface for the "H" beams.
Here is the information I am working with.
Max Height = 9'
Unit weight of Soil Behind Wall = 118 pcf
Ka = .28
Kp = 3.53
Soil type is SM-SP as indicated from bore logs
Spacing is 8'ctc.
Thank you for any help.

In general, temporary catilever soldeir beams need embedment of about 1.25H.
