<p>This paper presents a preliminary study on the system reliability for the geotechnical design of braced excavations in soft clays. In this system reliability geotechnical analysis, both ultimate limit state (ULS) and serviceability limit state (SLS) are ...

<p>A comparison between observed data and design value of earth retaining wall deflection due to braced excavation was carried out in soft and sensitive clay ground of some construction sites of Osaka Subway Line No.8. The beam-spring model was employed in ...

<p>The deformation behavior of earth retaining wall and backside ground due to braced excavation were measured at the construction sites of Osaka Subway Line No. 8. It was observed that backside ground moved to excavation &amp; down side along a circular slip ...

This paper describes the method used for excavating the upper 33m of emergency access shaft E2 for the underground single track tunnel running between Park and Rosebank station of the Gautrain Rapid Rail System. The soil was decomposed shale and diabase from ...

A predictive process for determining the stresses occuring in a pipeline djacent to deep braced excavations is presented. The method can be used to establish rational criteria for determining allowable maximum values for excavation induced ground movement ...

<p>Excavation is usually employed in the construction of basement of buildings and underground space of the mass rapid transit and the subway system in urban areas. Braced excavation is a complicated soil-structure interaction problem and it is a challenge ...
