Hello,
I am looking at how to design contiguous and secant piled walls. Rest assured, I wont be designing these walls anytime soon. I am just trying to learn for my own benefit, so please excuse me if my question is stupid / easy. I have a basic understanding of retaining walls, how to calculate earth pressures etc, these are from my old university notes, from a long time ago!
Can someone provide me with a reference to calculate the moment of inertial for a secant or contiguous piled wall. I have an example design report (which i stole from the internet). I have been working my way through it and trying to understand the steps involved. I have gotten stuck on the MoI.
Wallap gives some guidance on their software of how to do it. See below, again I found these in a manual online.
I dont know if this is the correct way to do it. I havent got Wallap so cant interrogate it any more. The reason I ask is because the above explanations dont match up with the values used in my example?
