A study by CH2M Hill commissioned by the Municipality of Anchorage found that the partially constructed open-cell sheet pile system is “not adequately designed to meet global stability and seismic displacements based on the design […]
Deep excavations usually require proper reinforcement to prevent failure. In this SLOPE/W example we illustrate how the stability of a deep excavation with a sheet pile wall can be evaluated. Features of this simulation include: […]
The Jefferson Memorial itself is supported on a network of 600+ concrete piles and drilled shafts that penetrate through soft Patomac River sediments and dredged material into bedrock between 80 and 138-ft below ground. However, […]
