Thanks, six06. I'll give that a shot.
I assume your answer would still hold when the pile is in a pile bent configuration, i.e., significant exposed length above mudline.
I'm looking for recommendations for a methodology to determine the structural and geotechnical capacity of existing spun-cast prestressed concrete cylinder piles. I need both the full-section (like-new) capacity and the capacity assuming longitudinal cracking in the pile.
Thanks.
PEinc,
Thanks for the reply. I'm familiar with the AASHTO requirements, but I thought there might me something more to a moment slab/barrier system. Is it feasible to assume that there is some resistance to the horizontal force by friction between the slab and the subgrade?
Does anyone have a design example or other reference for for a concrete traffic barrier/moment slab atop a sheet pile wall resisting live load impact? The concept would be similar to a barrier mounted on top of an MSE wall.
I am looking to be able to assess stability of the barrier/slab and...
I know I'm a little late on this response. If you are still having difficulty finding an engineer, try The David R. Schmidt Co.. He's a solo practicing structural engineer in Abingdon.
Also, I know you want to do this work yourself, but you may want to consider a pre-engineered bridge by...
