Innovations and Advances in Tied-Back Soldier Pile Shoring in Seattle
Since the 1970s soldier pile and tieback anchor shoring in the Seattle downtown core has supported more than 40 deep excavations and has become substantially more economical and predictable in its performance. Design and construction efficiencies have been made possible using a growing database of performance results. Recent development sites have often been partial blocks surrounded by buildings with basements, vital utility corridors, and narrow streets. These conditions have challenged development teams and led to new solutions that have made tough site development practical. This paper analyzes published and unpublished data to demonstrate how soldier pile and tieback shoring in Seattle has changed, how a greater emphasis on observed behavior and calibrated predictive tools has led to more efficient designs, and how much more cost-effectively these designs can be installed in today's market.
