    Types & Design of Temporary Bracing for Concrete Retaining Wall

    Thanks ya'll, I'll contact some shoring folks. And yes, I'll be sure to note on the drawings that the wall concrete must achieve 2,500 psi strength (will check the original concrete spec'd for the wall) I'll locate one brace +/- 2/3's the way up the wall and estimate a machinery weigh then...

    Yes... purely residential slab load... I agree... a small 3 foot beam spacing should be fine... I think I'll use 75 psf loading though... just in case... Punching shear- yes.. could be a possibility.. will look into it... the walls and roof will be loading the perimeter beams only... I will...
