"Trying to design a soldier pile la
I suggested RE Shoring Wall because the in the original post he was having to do an LRFD designed Soldier Pile wall. With SupportIt you have to multiply the load factors by the loads before you enter them, then delete them, refactor, and reenter the loads for each load case, Shoring Suite is the...- DanMcGrew

"Trying to design a soldier pile lagging wall using SPW911" Tried to respond to your thread: thread255-412809 but I guess I was late, thread was closed. PE was correct SPW911 will not do Soldier Pile walls. I used ShoringSuite for years I've also used SPW911, TB Wall, and a proprietary program...- DanMcGrew

Sheet pile wall analysis using NAVFAC 7.02
The NAVFAC example is a typical embedment depth problem using the Free Earth method. The Free Earth method calculates the embedment depth by summing moments around the lowest support. The Factor of Safety method used in the example is very old. Usually today for ASD design the Passive Pressure...- DanMcGrew

2x6 Tongue and Groove decking for garage floors
I need guidance on the spans between floor beams when using 2x6 Tongue & Groove (T&G) decking. The vehicles are contractor pickup trucks, 4000 lb maximum axle load. Are there any publications for these concentrated loads? I have found lots of information on uniform snow loads but I am concerned...- DanMcGrew

earth retention_tiebacks vs struting
krainaoz1. I have worked on projects where we have been that deep and used internal bracing. Usually we work with the contractor to design a bracing system that works with their equipment. Bracing levels are important so that braces are not in the way of floor finishing as you work back up out...- DanMcGrew

Coulomb Passive pressure on soldier pile walls.
I have done a lot of soldier pile design, anchored and cantilevered. For cantilevered walls the calculated embedment depth is usually between 90% and 110% of the exposed wall height, in really poor soils it can be as high as 130%. For supported piles a rule of thumb is much harder, as the...- DanMcGrew
