COLLAPSE OF BRACED EXCAVATION IN SINGAPORE (2011)

After the collapse of the subway excavation in the Nicoll Highway, extensive in-situ investigations were carried out to identify causes of the accident. The results of detailed studies disclosed that lack of toe-in depth of the diaphragm wall into the stiff competent strata could be one of the causes of the incident. This aspect of the studies is highlighted in this paper.
