This Revit structural family features a steel H-beam embedded in a cylindrical concrete shaft for deep foundation and shoring systems. The assembly comprises a standard structural steel H-beam profile extending vertically from a cast-in-place cylindrical concrete pile. The design focuses on the interface between the steel section and the concrete shaft, providing a clean geometric representation for structural documentation. The H-beam is centred within the circular profile, reflecting typical soldier pile configurations used in excavation support and retaining wall construction. The geometry is clean and efficient, designed to represent the structural component clearly in both plan and section views while maintaining lightweight file performance for complex site models.
The download is a 358 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.
Users can load this RFA file directly into a Revit structural project to model excavation support systems or deep foundation layouts. The family is designed for placement within a structural model, where it can be arrayed along a shoring line or foundation grid. Parameters allow for the adjustment of the pile depth and beam orientation, ensuring compatibility with the specific site constraints. It is best practice to assign appropriate structural materials to the steel and concrete sub-components to ensure accurate quantity take-offs.
Soldier Pile Steel H-Beam with Concrete Shaft
Free
This asset is essential for civil and structural engineers working on deep excavation projects, basement construction, or retaining wall design. It is frequently employed during the construction documentation stage to detail shoring sequences or foundation layouts. Professionals searching for this component will typically use terms like excavation support, soldier pile wall, or deep foundation system. It integrates seamlessly with other structural elements, such as lagging boards or tie-back anchors, to create comprehensive site models for complex urban infrastructure and large-scale residential developments.
