Can anyone tell me what is the allowable bending stress in AREMA design manual? I just ordered the manual online, but have to wait for 3 to 4 days to receive it. I don't want to sit and waste my time and hopefully want to do some prelimnary calcs between now and then (I heard somebody saying it...
In analyzing laterally loaded piles, how does F.S. is applied in the design? Is F.S. applied to k value in input data for P-y analysis (e.g. LPILE) or to output values (e.g. Moment or Deflection)? In addition, how much F.S. is generally used for the analysis? Thanks!

I am designing anchored soldier pile walls for State DOT. Their boring logs show two very distictive materials behind the wall location. Mostly 18 feet of silt (N=10+/-) is sitting on hard granite type of fresh rock. The height of the wall is about 35 feet and I am trying to use FHWA design...
I want to know in normal practice how other engineers configure inside and outside corner piles requiring anchors? For outside corner pile, in order to eliminate use of anchors for the pile I normally use a number of straps using 4x1/2 steel bar welded on flanges of adjacent h-piles each...
I am currently working on designing a size of anchor bearing plate for 45 ft. high anchored soldier pile wall and want to get your advice on it. Initially I simply tried with a simple beam model to design the thickness of the plate, but after finishing the calcs I thought that the number I came...
Hi,
I am working on designing a simple tension connection using 4 headed studs (3/4 x 3-1/8, one on each quadrant) welded on 6 x 6 steel plate and have a question regarding the plate thickness. This connection including the plate will be fully embeded in concrete wall and a steel rod (#10...
Has anyone heard about "SupportIT" by GTSoft?
I am looking for a design software for soldier pile wall with multi rows of anchors. Additionally I want to input multi layers of soils behind the wall. It seems to me that SupportIT does all that I need and prior to making my final decision I want...
