EireChch, you are right, it is not the case of money only. We are also analyzing the available options. But cost is also a factor we can not ignore, we have to find a solution which will be safe and less costly. So if there is no other way than getting heavier section defiantly we will buy that...
PEinc, sorry by mistake it shows 10m, excavation is 8m deep. I am proposing them for a higher section but it will cost money, this proposal is under consideration.
steveh49, noted we can extend the beams to attach with the deadman, I will check the calculations.
PEinc thanks, yes i also got very large beams with 1m spacing. We are pushing our client for any other bracing option then this. Thanks all of you for your time and help.
Thanks all of you for your input. We do not have free space inside the excavation for horizontal or raker bracing that is why this vertical beam is under consideration. I am also attaching the image of the concept I am refereeing. Actually we have use this method in one previous excavation but...
SlideRuleEra/geotechguy1, thanks for the reply drawings is attach. This design is as per our available sheet pile material. We can not spend more money to change our sheet piles, so most of the factors are unchangeable now except the H-beams. So kindly let me know if there is any thing you can...
We have a 8m deep excavation in sandy soil, as per design we need to provide two levels of bracing. At top level (at 2m depth) we are using Deadman anchors. However, for 2nd level (waler is at 5m depth) our client is asking to install the H-beam in front of sheet piles so that load can be taken...
Hi,
I have to prove that a steel casing of OD 80cm is drivable by Vibro-hammer. The soil is loose to dense Sand . How can I calculate the casing drivabilty?

I came across a relationship in which Pile Unit Skin Friction is calculated with SPT values as follows;
f (unit skin friction) = 3 N(spt)
I could not find the reference of it, is any body know the reference.
Thanks, I will just try to understand and will avoid any critical thing by myself. I am studding this example it has minor calculation mistakes, but anyway it is a good example.
Thanks HotRod10, yes I got the moments and share with the Allpile. I have a design which calculated the reinforcement using the S-Concrete. I am studding it and I will utilize this to design the shaft. No structure engineer is available here and company does not want spend money to some exterior...
Hi guys,
I have to design the pile. I know how to calculate the compression and uplift pile capacity. But i don't know how to calculate the structural capacity for compression, uplift and lateral. Can you please help me and guide how to do the complete pile design. Any link or software...
