Training Wall Design
Training Wall Design
(OP)
Does anyone know what the Corps of Engineers requires for safety factors for training wall design?
In Retaining and Flood Walls (EM 1110-2-2502), the Corps requires a maximum safety factor of 1.5. In Structural Design of Concrete Lined Flood Control Channels (EM 1110-2-2007) the Corps references the Retaining Wall and Flood Wall document.
I haven't come across anything where the Corps specifically mentions requirements for training walls. Based on the above 2 references it seems that a safety factor of 1.5 could be used.

If you need to look up the documents, attached is a link to the Corps library site.

look at the publications link to the middle left, then pick the engineering manual on the next window.

We do a lot of scaffolding and generally use a 4:1 SF
