Contiguous Piled Wall With Ground Anchor Support Design Spreadsheet
Contiguous Piles, structures made of piles, and pile-like structures are useful structural elements to support deep excavations
and cuts in slopes, and to retain creeping or sliding slopes, not uncommonly in seismic areas. Depending on the
static system and the dimensions the structural elements transfer forces mainly by shear (“dowel”) and/or mainly
by bending (“beam”) to the ground. In numerous cases they are particularly effective in combination with other
structural measures like (pre-stressed) anchors and/or drainage systems. The paper presents case histories
including piles and pile-like structures, which are applied for retaining structures in slopes. The main focus is on
infrastructure projects in creeping slopes. Two case histories from Austria and Slovenia are presented in detail.
Miscellaneous projects from European countries concentrating on various aspects complement the contribution.
