Single Row Piles question
Single Row Piles question
(OP)
anyone have any insight for a retaining wall on piles, and every other pile would be battered to take the lateral load. What are your thoughts on doing this? I figure if the vertical pile takes some lateral load and deflects, then the battered piles would be engaged.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

If the retaining wall is tall, we would provide two rows of piers to form a moment couple. Is there a reason you can investigate either of these options? Space?
Can you do a tieback instead of a battered pile?

IMHO, alternating vertical and battered piling would be a nightmare to construct. Just add more vertical piles if needed. Much of the cost of pile driving is equipment mobilization. Once that is done, adding more piling is usually cost effective.
If battered piles are desired, or required, pair all of them with vertical piles. This will keep all horizontal deflections essentially the same, making a better looking finished product.
