This soil pressure is valid only for a level excavation in front of the soldier pile; it <br /> acts on two times the grouted pile diameter. The minimum embedment below the floor of <br /> the excavation for cantilever soldier piles should be equal to the height of the "stick-up." The <br /> maximum bending moment in the soldier pile will occur at the point of zero shear, where the <br /> active and passive soil forces are eqwvalent. The depth of embedment below the bottom of <br /> the excavation can be calculated by determining the embedment ihat will satisfy moment <br /> equilibrium about the bottom of the pile and then adding 20 percent to that length to satisfy <br /> force equilibrium. <br /> The verticai capacity of soldier piles will be developed by a combination of frictional shaft <br /> resistance along the embedded length and pile end-bearing. <br /> Pnrnnreter Design Value <br /> Pile Shaft Friction 1,000 psf <br /> Pile End-Bearing 10,000 psf <br /> The above values assume that the excavation is level in front of the soldier pile and that the <br /> bottom of the pile is embedded a minimum of 10 feet below the floor of the excavation. The <br /> concrete surrounding the embedded portion of the pile must have su�cient bond and <br /> strangth to transfer the vertical load from the steel section through the concrete into the soil. <br /> Drainaqe Considerations <br /> If foundation walls are constructed against the shoring wails, a drainage composite should be <br /> placed against the layging prior to pouring the toundation wall. Weep pipes located no more than <br /> 6-feet-on-center should be connected to the drainage composite and pour into the foundation walls <br /> or the perimeter footing. A footing drain installed along the inside of the perimeter footing wi'� be <br /> used to collect and carry the water discharged by the weep pipes to the storm drain system. <br /> Footing drains placed inside the building or behind backfilled walls should consist of 4-inch PVC <br /> pipe surrounded by at least 6 inches of 1-inch minus, washed rock wrapped in a non-woven, <br /> geotextile filter fabric (Mirafi 140N, Supac 4NP, or similar material). At its highest point, a <br /> perforated pipe invert should be at least as low as the bottom of the footing, and it should be sloped <br /> for drainage. Ail roof and surface water drains must be kept separate irom the foundation drain <br /> system. For the best long-term performance, perforated PVC pipe is recommended for all <br /> subsurface drains. <br /> If seepage is encountered in an excavation, it should be drained from the site by directing it through <br /> drainage ditches, perforated pipe or French drains, or by pumping it from sumps interconnected by <br /> shallow connector trenches at the bottom of the excavation. <br /> 1he excavation and site should be graded so that surface water is directed off the site and away <br /> from the tops of slopes. Water should not be allowed to stand in any area where foundations, <br /> slabs, or pavements are to be constructed. Final site grading in areas adjacent to the building <br /> should slope away at least 2 percent, except where the area is paved. <br /> ��eorrcii co�si�i.rn�.rs.i,c. <br />
