Hello, I am looking for any up-to-date references on the design of lagging or more specifically, a horizontally spanning member for a soldier pile retaining wall. This would hopefully include the effects of passive arching with a known EFP, internal friction angle, & cohesion.
I was given a list of equations with no explanation that called for friction angle and cohesion but I'm not understanding why EFP is not considered.
