I can't find an example anywhere depicting case 2. All of the tables in the manual show simplified calculations for case 1. I understand how to calculate case 1 entirely but I am having issues visualizing how to compute the lateral pressures due to case 2 in regards to surcharge only.
Would a...
Can someone clarify which of the cases would be correct for an infinite length shown in the drawing on how to convert the soil to an equivalent surcharge loading to load the wall?http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=47f9d296-8c60-45bf-be64-da9193c74b46&file=EquivSurcharge.pdf
I'm curious if someone could explain to me the railroad live load interaction of a railroad abutment sitting on drilled shaft piles that are part of a drilled shaft retaining wall whose tracks intersect the wall at a 90 degree angle. Rather than the tracks running parallel to this retaining...
So I have two questions in regards to soil nail walls. I posted this in another category by accident but here goes. I've been looking into soil nail wall analysis and haven't been able to find a thread on this yet.
In regards to using Snailz, is there a benefit in limiting the search limit...
I am in need of some clarity. I have a retaining wall system that is composed of two cantilever drilled shaft walls, one behind the other, and my question is whether the top wall has any influence on the lower wall?
