Hi,

I am designing a steel sheet pile that will support a concrete deck. On one side the concrete deck will be slab on grade, then continue over the sheet pile about 10 feet and be supported by regular piles over the water.

Can you apply a line load to the top of the sheet pile? Does anyone have any information on the best way to design that connection? Anything I should keep in mind when detailing that connection?

Thank you for the help.
