I am using slope/w and trying to model pile. The manual just gave the input shear force of 100KN parallel to the slip. I was wondering the method to calculate the shear force that is used in slope/w for the pile.
The input shear Force is the "shear force capacity of the reinforcement". It is based on your applied shear force from the pile, where "Input shear force" = applied shear force from the pile) * (Pile spacing) * (Safety Factor). Hope it's helpful.
