Have modeled it both ways and get similair results. The spring method was used to check the py curve method.
The py curve for the tieback was entered as linear. The slope of the curve is the yeild capacity/yeild deformation.
Oh, I really would rather not. Those who are asking for the analysis want it done in PYWALL. The only other option is to model them as lateral springs.
I am trying to model a drilled shaft wall with tiebacks. The manual does not do a sufficient job in explaining their examples of PY curves for their tiebacks.
Any help in how to model the PY curve for tiebacks would be great. Thanks.
Thanks for your replies. I currently have the ASCE publication. We will be evaluating both the static and dynamic properties during the later stages of our investigation. Any other suggestions would be of great help.
I am currently working on a hydrualic fill structure built in the late 1930's. I have exhausted the resources available to me. If you have any references to hydraulic fill dam construction, material properties, ect., please let me know. Data prior to 1930 would be a plus as no data is...
