Focht & GPave,
Thanks for the input. I agree with your comments. We will not be providing a design for this wall at this time - only providing rough feasability info to the client. As such we are just trying to get a grip on some ball park costs that might be associated with this structure...
I am looking for any references for the design of pile and lagging walls.
We are doing preliminary estimating for a project that involves a cut retaining wall to support poor quality native limestone (RQD = 0 -5). The cut structure will be just a few feet of of the property line, thus our...
jdmm,
Thanks for the info. To clarify -the retained limestone in question is undisturbed and in place.
We will be using a crushed rock backfill for the reinforced zone. I am designing with a phi = 34 for the crushed rock zone.
Would I be okay, based on the parameters described in the first...
I am designing a short (6' and less) Reinforced Earth wall in a cut situation. The reinforced fill will be crushed stone to minimize the reinforceing embedment length.
The retained material is a poor quality limestone, with an RQD (Rock Quality Designation) of 8 to 25. A Texas Cone...
I am designing an short (6' or less) MSE type wall in a cut situation. The retained material is a poor quality limestone. The RQD (Rock quality designation) ranges from 8-17.
A texas cone penetrometer advanced 0" at 100 blows in most areas.
Can any one recommend a phi angle that...
