According to BS 8081:
FS ≥ 1.3 for temporary (or non-critical) application
≥ 1.5 for permanent/critical applications
≈ Fixed
deformation ≈ constant
support load support
Two (manual) design methods are used:
Depending on the
permissible wall
movement, 3 cases are
considered:
1) S ≥ d ; use K = Ka
2) d > S ≥ d/2 ;
use K = (Ka + Ko)/2
a) Determine construction
stages, and then for each stage:
6) Anchor force/m:
A = Ah /cos θ1; AF = A x S
(R AF × FS)
v
7) For soldier pile walls:
≈ cu Nc/ ɣ H
Importance of soil model selection
3-D effect on wall movement
(reduced displacement)
(increased displacement)
Good practice for
Within Zone A:
Support of adjacent • Underpinning normally required.
structures Underpinning to adjacent structure s
should be founded in Zone C.
• If not underpinned, hl & vl pressures
from adjacent structures on the wall
must be considered.
Within Zone B:
• Underpinning not normally required. hl
& vl pressures from Adj. str. on wall
must be considered.
