Engineering Design Calculations

The document provides design parameters for a cantilever soldier pile system including pile size and spacing, soil properties, surcharge loads, and calculations for active and passive soil pressures, shear forces, bending moments, and the required pile section modulus. An iterative process is used to determine the depth of pile embedment below grade, points of zero shear and inflection, and equivalent soil pressures on the pile to achieve equilibrium of forces and zero moment at the bottom of the pile.
