Trench Box Design/Analysis - Reference Availability
(OP)
Hello,
How are prefabricated/modular trench boxes designed? Are they analyzed the same way as braced sheet pile? Which codes govern the design process of trench boxes?
If you could recommend any literature for trench box design it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

There are commercially available systems on the market. See attached for one of them.

Is it common for general contractors to produce their own makeshift "trench-boxes?" I realize shoring systems have to be approved by a PE and meet OSHA regulation, but how common is it to see GC's rig something of their own?
