Hi,
I want to use concrete soldier piles instead of wood laggings. The plan is to use reinforced concrete piles every 8 to 10 feet, and cast plain concrete piles in between them. Thus, there will be no need to wood laggings.
The structural engineer do not agree with the plan based on his calculations. Though, it seems that nowadays this type of soldier piles in between of master piles are getting more common. The plan is to use them as a general plan in different conditions so the depth of excavation and soil type could vary.
I am looking for references (if available) and your comments and experiences with this respect.
Thanks
