Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method for implementing a truss retaining structure in coastal excavations at an excavation location. This method is a multi-step process that reinforces aggregate piers against excess tensional and compressional loads of concrete foundation. The method includes securing a truss retaining structure to an excavation wall, excavation bottom, and a neighbor foundation by using an anchoring mechanism and a plurality of nailing mechanisms. The anchoring mechanism is used to anchor the truss retaining structure to the neighbor foundation.
