Restrained shoring system specifications
(OP)
I'm working on a shoring system with a waler and raker and am looking for specifications on how much deflection is allowed in the components.
Would l/240 be a good assumption?

Is there a governing code for temporary work like a restrained shoring system for earthwork? Would it be the International Code Council?
What does the code say with regard to deflections of walers in such a system?
RE: Restrained shoring system specifications
If there is a building on shallow spread footings directly above the shoring you want to design for at-rest pressures so you need a stiff structure. If you have a shoring system that will be part of a one sided form you will need to coordinate with the EOR of the building to make sure your shoring deflections will not eat up too much of their wall thickness. If you have a hole with some extra space inside you can live with some sizeable deflections that will some with getting members right up to their design limits. It is up to you to decide if your shoring deformations are acceptable.

In addition to any limits within a formwork code, your governing code for the concrete design/placement should have allowable tolerances for the finished concrete that would be obvioulsy be affected by excess deflection in the formwork.
