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.

Sounds good. I'll proceed in that vein. Thanks very much for your help.

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...
