A Conceptual and Analytical Model for the Design of Soldier Pile and Tieback Retaining Systems

Abstract

The Purpose of this paper is to enable and provide new or young Engineers who will be involved in the design and installation of bank retention systems for, as tied back wall systems with tools how to start and optimize their retention systems for design, installation, and take off materials. This method is obtained from more than twenty years of retention system design experience. An illustration of design steps and calculation through during construction to final stage is included in this paper. It is important to mention that the most critical case in the design might be during construction stage not at the final design case.
