I got a new design that I have not come acrossed yet before. The client wants a soldier pile system to temp shore an access path for construction vehicles into a already graded excavation site. The slope of the already graded site is 1.5:1 (H:V). The exposed shored wall is already at 10' high but the resistant soil is sloping 1.5:1 away from the face of the shoring. See attached photo for clarification. My question is how much soil do I need as resistant soil. Calculate enough to counter the force? I have a feeling this will be 20'+ leaving the entire soldier beam as 30'+ long. What are your thoughts?
