Example Soldier Piles With Tiebacks English

This document describes the design of a soldier pile wall with three rows of tiebacks supporting a 40-foot excavation using DeepEX software. The project involves modeling the soil stratigraphy, wall, tiebacks and excavation stages. Key steps include defining analysis methods, project dimensions, soil properties, wall and tieback parameters, and structural design codes. The software then generates the staged model and performs limit equilibrium analysis to calculate wall forces, moments, deflections and check structural adequacy at each stage. Critical results are summarized in a table and sample output displays wall shear and moment diagrams, as well as deflections.

DEEPEX EXAMPLE: SOLDIER PILES WITH TIEBACKS

A. Project description

In this example we will design an anchored soldier pile and lagging wall with 3 tieback rows,
supporting a 40ft excavation. The Figure below presents the project model. Tables 1 and 2 present
the soil properties and the stratigraphy respectively. Table 3 presents the external loads. Tables 4
and 5 present the wall and support properties respectively. The general ground surface is at El. 0ft
and the general water table is at El. -50 ft.

B. Modeling with DeepEX

The model will be created using the DeepEX Model Wizard:

• Define Analysis Methods:

Figure: Analysis Methods in DeepEX Wizard.

In this dialog, we choose to apply Limit Equilibrium Analysis method to our model. For the classical
earth pressures in design stages with multiple support levels we define FHWA apparent pressures
and for the beam analysis we choose CALTRANS method.

DEEP EXCAVATION 4
DEEPEX EXAMPLE: SOLDIER PILES WITH TIEBACKS

• Define project type and dimensions

Figure: Project Type and Dimensions in DeepEX Wizard.

In this dialog we select the project type (in this case we select the option to create an anchored
wall model). Next, we define the project dimensions (final excavation depth, walls depth,
excavation width, top of the wall elevation and water table). Finally, we define the support
properties (in this case tieback spacing and the tieback structural section). The software will use
the same properties (spacing, structural sections etc) for all created supports. Later we can access
each support on the model area (double-click on the support) and edit the specific support
properties.

• Define soil types and stratigraphy

Figure: Soil Properties and Soil Layers in DeepEX Wizard.

Figure: Soil Properties and Soil Layers dialogs in DeepEX.

In these dialogs we can define the required soil types and the properties for each created soil, as
well as, the model stratigraphy by defining the top of the soil layer elevation and the soil type in
each layer.

DEEP EXCAVATION 6
DEEPEX EXAMPLE: SOLDIER PILES WITH TIEBACKS

• Define wall type and wall section properties

Figure: Wall types in DeepEX Wizard.

Figure: Wall Sections dialog in DeepEX.

In these dialogs we select the wall section type (in this case soldier pile and lagging wall), the
soldier pile section, the wall spacing and the concrete – steel materials. Here, we also define the
lagging material, thickness and position.

DEEP EXCAVATION 7
DEEPEX EXAMPLE: SOLDIER PILES WITH TIEBACKS

• Define Stages – Support Elevations

Figure: Support Elevations in DeepEX Wizard.

In this dialog, we define the depth from the surface or each support level, as well as, the depth
below each support level where we wish to excavate in the stages, before the support is installed.
The software automatically calculates all elevations (excavations and support installation levels) of
these defined depths and generates all intermediate construction stages.

DEEP EXCAVATION 8
DEEPEX EXAMPLE: SOLDIER PILES WITH TIEBACKS

• Define Surcharge

Figure: Support Elevations in DeepEX Wizard.

In this dialog we define the surcharge type and properties, as well as the surcharge modeling
options. In this case we will use a 0.6 kips strip surcharge, developed for 50 ft, starting 1ft behind
the left wall. After the model is automatically generated by the software wizard, we can access the
stages in the model area and add any required additional loads graphically, using the Draw Loads
options in the General tab of DeepEX.

DEEP EXCAVATION 9
DEEPEX EXAMPLE: SOLDIER PILES WITH TIEBACKS

• Define structural codes:

Figure: Structural Codes in DeepEX Wizard.

In this dialog, we can define the structural and geotechnical design codes that we wish to assign to
this model. In this case, we will use US allowable settings for steel design and ACI for concrete.

The software automatically creates all project construction stages, according to our selections in
the Model Wizard. The following Figures present the models in Stages 5 and 7 respectively:

Figure: Generated Model – Stage 5.

Figure: Generated Model – Stage 7.

C. Results in DeepEX

Since the model is ready, we can choose to calculate the design section, pressing on the
button .
After the analysis is succeeded, the Summary table appears. The table below includes some critical
checks and values for each construction stage. The following figures present some graphical results
from the results tab of DeepEX.
