What are soldier piles?
Soldier Piles are steel H piles that are vertically driven or drilled into the earth at regular intervals prior to excavation. As excavation progresses in stages, horizontal lagging in the form of timber or precast concrete is added behind the flanges to create the Soldier Pile and Lagging Wall.
What are the loads acting on sheet piles?
The forces acting on the sheet pile are : Active pressure due to soil behind pile, Passive pressure due to soil in front of the pile, The tension in the anchor rod.
What is a cantilever wall?
Cantilever walls are walls that do not have any supports and thus lead to an open unobstructed excavation. Cantilever walls laterally restrain the retained side of the excavation by the passive resistance provided below the excavation depth.
What is Secant piling?
A Secant Piled Wall is a retaining wall constructed for ground retention prior to excavation. The wall is formed by constructing alternating primary (female) and secondary (male) piles where the secondary piles partially cut into either side of the primary piles in order to form a continuous impervious structure.
Are soldier piles permanent?
Soldier pile walls provide a core system for earth retention in both temporary and permanent applications. Then, as the site excavation proceeds in lifts, lagging is placed between the piles to retain soil.
