SHORING IN ROCK
SHORING IN ROCK
(OP)
Hi.
I am designing a shoring system up to 15 m deep. The soil investigation indicates the strata is soft rock. I am wondering in my analysis should I assume it to be sand based on Peck's pressure envelopes or ?. I am unable to get any information on how to analyse shoring on rocks. All information is on granular or cohesive soils.
thanks

If you have rock, consider rock bolting and shotcrete.
If you are set on using sheeting, consider drilled-in soldier beams with lagging and tieback anchors.
Drilling in rock can be expensive, but it can be done.
Sheet piling usually cannot be driven through rock or very dense decomposed rock.
Carefully choose your lateral pressures. A rock slide can produce greater lateral pressures than a "normal" excavation in soil.
