<p>The purpose of this manual is to provide the inspector and Engineer-In-Charge with a quick and easy-to-use set of inspection guidelines for the various aspects of tieback construction, including pre-installation inspection, installation, testing and trouble ...

<p>Geogrid reinforced soil structures are planned and constructed in increasing amounts due to their various benefits. Little amounts of failures or deformations beyond serviceability limit state are reported. Multiple factors can influence the behavior of ...

<p>The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE), in particular the Geotechnical Division (GD) and the Hong Kong Geotechnical Society (HKGES) promote close collaboration with other Professional Engineers&rsquo; Institutions within the region to enhance sharing ...

<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 ...

<p>The purpose of this document is to provide an acceptable design method and theory for the geotechnical design of flexible cantilevered or anchored retaining walls to be constructed on New York State Department of Transportation projects.</p> <p><br />The ...

<p>Traditional soil reinforcing techniques involve the use of continuous geosynthetic inclusions such as geogrids and geotextiles. The acceptance of geosynthetics in reinforced soil construction has been triggered by a number of factors, including aesthetics, ...

<p>Cross walls and buttress walls are common construction methods used in Taiwan for protection of adjacent buildings during excavation. It is generally recognized, but not verified, that both methods have good effects in reducing wall movement and ground ...

<p>Geotechnical design engineers used to rely on arbitrary rules and definitions of &ldquo;factor of safety&rdquo; on peak soil strength in limit analysis calculations. They used elastic stiffness for deformation calculations, but the selection of equivalent ...

Inadequate space in urban settings has set forth a challenging trend to go deeper into the ground, and increase the space required for providing public amenities, parking and for housing utilities. Closely spaced structures in the vicinity of excavation, soft ...

<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 ...
