Hi Guys, I have question about "how to estimate lateral load" from given wind loads. I am designing a pile foundation for a car port. Wind loads(w) and earth quake loads (E) are given. In designing the pile, "how to estimate the expected lateral load" from these? Any standard or book reference...

DaveAtkins, Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I don't have any information about the dead & live loads for the building. All I know is no. of stories. Can you suggest some references or info to approximate these loads. I don't want to be too conservative and its a temporary shoring, may be...

All, Can any body suggest me some good references or info about "how to predict surcharge ( for lateral pressure) from existing buildings and/or local traffic" that can be used for tie-back shoring wall design? No of stories of the building and street location are known. Thanks a bunch in advance.

Thanks guys.

Can anybody guide me to "Guidelines for temporary shoring wall" design. I am trying to find the max allowable height with no tie backs. Also some best practices and design guidelines. Thanks a bunch

Frame is enough, no need for additional rebar, for the sake of load test.

Can any one suggest or provide links for "Free Lateral load analysis software" for drilled shafts? Excel template with simple analysis for different soils (clays, sands and rocks) also works. Thanks in advance
