Structural

I am doing a structural model for anchored piled wall (contiguous piles 1.2m at 2m spacing). The results have to be optimised to match the geotechnical output. I have an issue with modeling the anchor properties as they highly depend on the deformation of the wall (P-delta) utilisation. What is the best way to approximate the stiffness of the springs for structural model. What additional checks should be done assuming shorcrete secant piles for high walls e.g. 10-12m.
