When is it that walers are required for soldier pile walls? I've seen both with and without and did not quite understand why. I can see why a waler would be needed if the anchor is drilled in between the H-piles (through lagging) and the load has to be transmitted to the H-piles by the waler...
I conducted a "basic modeling" type analysis using LPILE4 in order to determine depth of embedment and deflections. The piles are 24 feet long, with a 15 feet embedment into 3 feet of medium dense sand and the remaining 12 feet in very stiff clays.
The structural engineer now has returned...
Here is the situation, due to the project requirements I need an expansion board that is flexible and excellent as a water seal. The board would be used for an expansion joint between a concrete wall and a wall cap in order to prevent water from infiltrating behind the wall and freezing and...

Thanks in advance.
