    3-Pile Group & Cap

    I have a pile cap that will be supporting 2 different columns with 2 different reactions. Is there a code that specifies the edge distance from a column to the face of the cap? One column reaction is actually quite a bit larger than the other. I'm assuming taking the resultant and centering...

    Pile Groups

    Is there a standard code for the design of Pile Groups? I haven't been able to find anything. I'm unsure as to how design them as opposed to one drilled concrete pile. Do you guys know of any design guides or sites that are any help? ACI states to not use their standards for the design of...

    Deep Walls

    Thanks for the quick response! It will, in fact, be backfilled inside the walls. I'm planning to laterally restrain the top of the wall. What process would you go about designing the wall? Would you analyze it as a continuous footing?

    Deep Walls

    Hello all, I'm having a go at designing a deep wall and am having problems finding a starting point. Inside the walls, it will be filled with soil up to slab therefore it won't be a basement area. Are there any useful guides or resources that can help me in the design of the deep wall? I have...

    Request for good Earthwork Software

    I've used paydirt and I really like it. It's easy to use. I'm not sure of the pricing though.

    Grading help.

    I'm an EIT and so far the most confusing part of the job is the site grading. When I see my boss do the grading, it appears to be the easiest thing in the world but when I'm looking at it, I just can't see it. Are there any quick references I use for Max/Min slops, preferred, ect when it comes...
