That would definitely suck, but it's highly unlikely. I'm using a 1" plate, no plastic deformations from the CBFEM analysis, so I feel good about it. The CBFEM ignores some of the anchors that it calculates not to be in tension, which shrinks the breakout cone. That's why I'm trying to find a...
I should also clarify that the base plate analysis shows a failure when running it as a CBFEM, but within acceptable limits (only just) as a rigid plate. Given the concrete encasement, I think the rigid assumption is valid, but would like to find additional literature detailing load reduction...

Thanks for the thoughts. I've already checked the HSS for local buckling, but filling the section with concrete certainly won't hurt. I'm going to check shear studs on the sides. The 20" slab I'm referring to is actually a 13" slab and a 7" slab in two lifts, so I'll only be able to rely...
Thanks KootK, this is helpful. I don't share the same concern, but only on the basis that the structure will not bear sustained loading. It will be loaded in emergency situations only, so there shouldn't be separation over time. Any separation that occurs from loading can be inspected and...
I've got a 16x12x0.375 HSS, the bottom of which will be encased in a 20" CIP slab with the base plate anchored to the concrete below. The pier is experiencing a significant moment, and I'm looking for a resource to evaluate how the bearing resistance from the concrete encasement will reduce the...
Hi all,
A number of bulkhead projects I have seen recently (particularly residential) utilize a concrete pile and panel system (in the style of a soldier pile wall) for shoreline stabilization. Instead of anchors or deadmen, they are utilizing concrete piles driven on a positive batter as a...
