  • Deep Foundations
DEF

A vertical member or steel section (as H or WF section) which is driven into the ground at intervals to hold horizontal lagging in a sheeting and shoring system.

CONT

Soldier Beams and Horizontal Sheeting. An important way of sheeting in many parts of the country today is the method employing soldier beams and horizontal sheeting, or "grid sheeting," as it is sometimes called.

CONT

The analysis and performance of a shoring system required to permit a twenty-metre deep excavation directly adjacent to a large, underground subway structure are discussed. The soil condition and shoring system(soldier pile wall with tie-back anchors) are described.

OBS

Since its introduction in 1988, GRLWEAP(which is based on the WEAP program of 1976) has achieved wide popularity throughout the world. The program simulates the behavior of a pile(a slender elastic rod) and the surrounding soil(an elastic-plastic and viscous material) under the impact of a pile driving hammer. Powerful options combine the basic analysis of one hammer blow into the simulation of a complete pile driving process. Today the GRLWEAP software is recognized by many specifying agencies as the most reliable predictor of dynamic pile driving stresses, hammer performance, and either blow count or bearing capacity of an impact driven pile.
