Does anybody the procedure to calculate embedment depth for soldier pile with tieback anchors in rock? I looked at Cir. No. 4 but I couldn't get any useful information.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Get yourself a copy of "Foundation Engineering" by Jumikis, 1986 and look at his "Equivalent Beam Method". This will give you procedure for embedment and anchor forces, etc. The FHWA publications on tieback designs are very conservative.

Look for earth pressure distribution diagrams in AASHTO's Bridge Dessign Specifictions. What you want is shown.
