Check out the bible (Foundation Engineering by Peck, Hanson, Thornburn). ;-) They have an illustrative example in Chapter 26, page 436 that shows a cantilever wall design with piles. They assume 2 kips/pile resisted by moment in piles combined with passive resistance of soil. The balance...
AASHTO Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges, 17th Edition:
Section 4.6.5.6.1.4
Again, this is a section on drilled shafts and I am working with driven piles. Specifically concrete filled metal shell piles with a 12 in diameter.
AASHTO does not specifically cover lateral reductions for...
I have already accounted for the force taken through axial load, but must check for the additional required bending resistance.
This question is not specific to one case but more a practical question that I consider independent of soil conditions since AASHTO provides reductions that do not...
This is for a retaining wall with two to four rows of piles. The back row will be vertical and the front rows will battered. No special conditions.
The AASHTO Standard Specs list a ratio of group pile action to single pile action of 0.40 for spacing of 4B and 0.25 for spacing of 3B.
I do...
I am designing a retaining wall with a driven pile foundation and attempting to determine the lateral capacity of the piles due to passive pressure. AASHTO Section 4.6.5.6.1.4 discusses Group Action for drilled shafts and shows a table for the reduction of lateral capacity in the direction...
