Selection and Construction of a Permanent Anchored Soldier Pile Wall
An access road to a new 34.5 hectare (85 acre) multi-use development in Yonkers, New York required the use of an unconventional, permanent tied-back soldier pile wall to accommodate steep cross slopes, limited Right-of-Way (R.O.W.), and unfavorable subsurface conditions. The subsurface conditions were 1.5 to 9 meters (5 to 30 feet) of uncompacted boulder-laden fill, standing at its angle of repose and underlain by thin natural soil and irregular bedrock. In many places the rock level was above final grade, thus the wall had "mixed-face" conditions. The 183 meter (600 foot) long wall varied from 0.5 to 7.5 meters (2 to 25 feet) high on its exposed face. It was constructed of drilled-in steel H-piles for the soldier piles, timber lagging for temporary soil support and reinforced concrete infill "lagging" for the permanent condition. Rock anchors were installed at steep angles to remain within the R.O.W. This paper discusses the issues leading to the wall type selection and the various challenges encountered during construction of the wall.
