Establishing Soil Profile
To design a shoring system, the user must create the soil profile (cross section) first. If you are not familiar with creating a profile, please read the Line section. The dredge side must be on the left. The wall face should still be a slope facing the left (x1<x2), even though it is near vertical. The profile can include different soil strata, surcharges and water table. Similar to performing a slope stability analysis, the soil properties must be assigned to each soil stratum. Figure 40 shows a profile for shoring analysis.
