Structural Design of Soldier Piles

There are many variables that should be considered in the total design.
1. Soil type and design values of both active and passive values.
2. Surcharge loading - can be very critical
3. Allowable over-stress - duration of loading a factor
4. I believe it takes using good engineering judgement to not have the design overly conservation.
5. Side pocket can and are used on many majors projects
