    Pile cap extension of a Bridge Abutment

    We are currently working on a proposal. Following is the overall scope 1. The Pilecap (PC) supports the bearing from a bridge spanning across a navigation channel 2. The PC is supported on ground with continuous sheet pile at front for retaining the soil and fill behind and few rear piles 3...

    AASHTO - Steel box section/ sheet piles

    Sorry for late response. Design methodology for LRFD is clear. Why I asked for any closed section example is.... The proposed sheet pile is subjected to substantial vertical load from bridge bearing as well. If you look at Eurocodes, we have clear limitation on thickness for a cross section and...

    AASHTO - Steel box section/ sheet piles

    That is based on ASD. Isn't it? As per the latest edition, I couldn't find any provisions for ASD. They want to follow LRFD.

    AASHTO - Steel box section/ sheet piles

    The above-mentioned figures indicate the force distribution and criteria for evaluating the embedment depth. Basically, geotechnical aspects, I believe. Section 11.8 indicates forces to be considered for structural checks. I'm looking at evaluating the structural capacity (utilization ratio)...

    AASHTO - Steel box section/ sheet piles

    Hello everyone! Does anyone here have worked out example for design of flexural members with box section? I've prepared the design calculations based on the standard but couldn't get any solid examples for box sections. Lot of examples on I section are there. I need something to validate my...

    Alternate Material Grades

    Hi Everyone, Often, we design our structures with material grades corresponding to one grade pertaining to one standard and during construction, depending on availability, equivalent grade pertaining to other standards are selected. From EN standards to ASTM standards or vice versa. Mostly key...

    Piles on slope ( weathered rock)in marine area

    Hi HTURKAK Actually, I posted this in another thread and got responses as well. Thought of linking but the thread seems deleted. Anyway, Thanks for your response. Batter pile construction is ruled out siting difficulties in positioning and driving. Rock anchor may be provided, depends on...

    Piles on slope ( weathered rock)in marine area

    Hi Engineers, I'm a marine Structural Engineer. Currently, we are designing a platform for loading cargo onto ships. Open piled structure, located at approx. 1km into sea. Ground slope is very steep 1 in 1. For most depths, weathered calcarenite is observed. Area is near coral reefs. Currently...

    HSS Baseplate connection resistances based on Eurocode

    Hi! Eurocodes are new to me. Though I see provisions for calculating resistances for I/H base plate connections in Eurocode, provision for base plate connection for hollow sections couldn't be seen. Can anyone throw some light on this? Could see only I/H connection in Tekla Tedds as well. Want...
