I am searching for a code that discusses the minimum life expectancy of CCA treated timber piles in the salt waters of the Unite States. All I have been able to find so far is a published document from Australia which I am sure will not hold up in this case because it specifically reference...
I am looking for a timber design code that specifically discusses the life expectancy of CCA treated timber piles within the salt waters of the United States. I typically use the NDS from American Wood Council to design timber piers but I am doing a post-mortem and need a published source.
Is anyone aware of a design program for cellular cofferdams available? I am familiar with the old US Army Corp program in DOS format but I need something a little newer. Even a place where I can download excel or mathcad spreadsheets programs that have been developed for this purpose.

Does anyone know of any text books or design manuals that focus on mono-pile design? I have been working in offshore engineering for a few years now but I have little experience in this special case and I would like a engineering design manual or text to teach myself from.

Is there any need/requirement to electrically ground a mooring bollard for an offshore structure? I am designing a pipe pile supported concrete cap with a mooring bollard(post) imbedded into the concrete. I notice ground wire connections to the existing structures' bollards and was not sure of...
Can anyone tell me where to find information on the allowable bond strength for chemical anchors to steel and/or concrete? None of the chemical anchor suppliers work with allowable number anymore and I cannot find appropriate methods to deriving allowable bond strengths. Thank you.
I am designing a sheet pile wall on a creek and I have one problem. I am not sure what loading to apply as a surcharge on the surface behind the wall. I believe that the construction loading will be the highest loads this site will see but I am not sure how to apply the load from a vibratory...
How would you calculate a spring constant for timber members? Specifically southern yellow pine timber piles. Or is there already documented values for such numbers?
I have a simple A-Frame model. One plumb pile connected at the top to one spur (batter) pile. They are 12" diameter timber piles. I apply a lateral load at the connection point. I am trying to calculate the deflection (translation) of the top of those piles in the horizaontal direction...
I was wondering if anyone knew of a procedure to determine the strength of a steel column (mainly pipe piles) with varying cross-sections due to corrosion on different locations along the column. Please let me know if you can help.
Has anyone had any experience with Greenheart Timber used as a material for piers. If so please point me in the right direction where I could find material propeties on greenheart, such as allowable bending stress, allowable shear stress, etc...
Anyone know of some really good, easy-to-use pile analysis software? I am looking for a program to do mostly lateral load analysis; giving deflections, moments and so forth for varying soil layers and such. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I am looking for an empirical method to solve for stability of monopiles under lateral loading conditions and wondering if anyone has any links to procedural sites. Thanks.
I have a floating dock for boat fueling and the fuel lines run to a concrete fixed pier. The hoses are getting kinked at high tide when the floating dock rises. Does anyone have any ideas as how to to support the hose slack?
