Abstract: Deep excavations in high groundwater levels, industrial area and large constructions with heavy structures is a challenge, where secant piling techniques are one of the best solutions. The wall which is constructed by series of piles is embedded as a retaining wall. These are constructed by overlapping of reinforced concrete piles and plain concrete piles. In this paper the bending performance and the shear strength of different layers of the soil with a secant pile made of Reinforced Concrete Pile (RCP) and Plain Concrete Piles (PCP) are arranged alternately overlapped with each other for the retaining support to the earth. In this paper, an attempt has been made to study the effect of secant pile wall capacity, lateral displacement and bending moment of wall from elastic and plastic stage by using Time History analysis.
