Calculation Model
(For soldier pile stability and integrity)

At z = 0 m bgl : At z = 3.5 m bgl :

p p

= 1.010 - 250 = -90.00 kN/m2 = 1.0(10 + 3.519.8) - 250 = -22.68 kN/m2 < 0 MEFP governs

MEFP= 5z = 53.5 = 17.50 kN/m2

(From: CIRIA Special Publication 95, p. 36)

Ph = 17.53.5 = 30.63 kN/m 1.5m = 45.95 kN/ yh = 3.5 = 1.17 m

The stability and integrity of the soldier piles will be assessed according to a laterally loaded pile by the method of Broms (refer charts next page).

DESIGN LOAD FH = e= Lf FH = 46 kN/ 1.17 m 64.4 kN/ { Horizontal load } { Load application from GL } (( Lf = 1.4 ))

PILE DATA Pile Top Condition: FREE Pile Size: H-200x200x8x12 (( Sx = 525 cm )) My = py Sx = 144.375 kNm/ (( py = 275 N/mm )) b OR d = 0.2 m { Breadth of pile } D OR L = 3.4 m { Embedment of pile } SOIL DATA s = cu = 19 kN/m 50 kN/m { Average unit weight of soil } { Ave undr shear strength }

CAPACITY AS SHORT PILE Ultimate Lateral Resistance in Cohesive Soils (( L/d = 17 e/d = 5.85 )) Hu,c / (cu d) = 33.28 {Read from chart} Hu,c = 66.57 kN/

CAPACITY AS LONG PILE Ultimate Lateral Resistance in Cohesive Soils (( My / (cu d) = Hu,c / (cu d) = Hu,c = 360.9 45.18 90.37 kN/ e/d = 5.85 )) {Read from chart}

Apply factor by embedment, provide embedment length D = 1.2 3.4 = 4.08m Required total length of soldier pile = 3.50 + 4.08 = 7.58 say 8.0m
