Shoring Design
Shoring systems commonly consist of sheet piles, diaphragm walls, soldier pile walls with lagging, etc. A shoring system can be cantilevered, single braced, or multi-level braced, depending the height of the wall. Visual Slope is capable of designing all those types of retaining walls. Similar to that of designing an MSE wall, the process of designing a shoring system includes the following three steps:
1. Establishing soil profile (cross section), similar to that for a Slope Stability Analysis
2. Adding wall and braces (if needed)
3. Performing analysis
