Thank you all.
I have still designed my wall as a cantilever due to the lack of information/theory on arch type structures.
I was hoping to adjust/optimize what I have done because the arch must contribute in some way to the strength of the wall as a whole. Looking at it as a pure cantilever...

In terms of the abutments I am toying with the idea of installing a few metres of sheetpiling extra on both ends...
Good day Everybody.
I am looking at designing a similar shoring solution to the one in the photo, except I will be using sheetpiles.
My area is has restricted access and space with neighbouring structures so neither anchors nor props is an option. Hence I looking to use the strength of the...
