Does anybody have examples of capping beams for sheet piles in Quay wall application?

If you use the channel cap detail, make sure you use the bolted connection detail and not welds. Expansion and contraction will quickly snap them. The bolted connection will allow for some slip while still mainatining a connection. Let's leave the welds as a contractor field request gone askew.
 
Dear PEinc and eea

Thank you for your responses. My Challenge is a bit bigger than the examples shown in the attachment, the capping beam top level is +4.00cd and the bottom is 0.00cd. Any suggestions?

Regards
