Brace brace detail

[EngMan40]

I have 50 ft wide, 25 ft deep excavation and I am designing solider pile wall with wale and horizontal internal strut. the strut force is about 50 kip, I am looking for a detail for the strut spanning between two parallel pile walls and between the two perpendicular ones. any example will help me find out the practical way of detailing the connections

A sketch of your situation would be helpful.

Here are some things to consider:
1. Has a specialty contractor already been selected to construct this support of excavation system? If so, ask them what detail they like.
2. What are you using for the struts? W/HP shapes? Pipes? This will influence the detail.
3. Consider constructability. In support of excavation design, connections are often fabricated on site in the mud to suit the as-built conditions. Think of the welder and avoid making him lay in the mud for an overhead weld if possible.
4. Ask yourself exactly what do you need these connections to do. Transfer strut axial load? Axial load and horizontal shear?

I'd also recommend doing a Google image search on support of excavation strut. You'll get some (likely too many) ideas.

Make a sketch and report back with what you think the detail could be.

I hope this helps.
