    Soldier Piles and Lagging Systems

    The soldier pile and lagging system involves driving H-beams or piles into the ground before excavation to support the walls of the excavation. Timber or other lagging is placed between the piles and braced with horizontal struts or anchors to support the soil. Key components include the soldier piles, bracing system, walers to distribute anchor forces, and lagging. Design of the lagging involves calculating the simple bending moment from the soil load and selecting an appropriate thickness. Design of the soldier piles involves calculating the cantilever bending moment and selecting a section with sufficient modulus.

    SOLDIER PILES &

    LAGGING SYSTEM

    PROCEDURE:
    The procedure for constructing a soldier pile wall is to drive the H-piles into the ground prior to any
    excavation.
    The piles are driven with the flanges parallel to the proposed cut. They are usually spaced between
    four and ten feet apart.
    When they have been driven down to the desired depth (typically five to ten feet beneath the
    proposed excavation bottom when in soil), the excavation begins in stages.
    The first stage of the excavation is made to the location of the uppermost strut or anchor.
    Timber lagging, cut to fit in between the webs of adjacent soldier piles is placed in back of the
    front flanges of the piles.
    They are set one piece of lagging on top of the other with only a small spacer between them.
    Straw or a geotextile may be placed between and behind the lagging to reduce seepage through
    the wall.
    Once the lagging is set down to the first strut level, a horizontal wale is installed against the piles
    and the struts or anchors are placed at the desired spacing.

    PRIMARY
    COMPONENTS:

    1. Soldier piles which may be either steel H-beams, steel tubular pipes, concrete piles, or cast-in
    place concrete piles.

    Cross Sections used as Soldier Pile


    2. Support system of braced struts or anchors. Anchors may be cast-in-place deadman, piles used
    as anchors or tieback anchors.
    3. Waller which distribute the anchor force as a line load between the soldier piles. They are
    usually structural steel sections.
    4. Wood/ metal/ Precast lagging which supports the soil between the piles.
