<p>The performance of diaphragm walls in excavation for Shandao Temple Station of Taipei Metro is evaluated by using the concept of wall deflection path which is a plot of maximum wall deflections versus depth of excavation. Finite element analyses were performed ...

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 ...

<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>This paper presents the design, construction and back analysis of the basement retaining wall of a major commercial development in Bogota, Colombia. The development consists of 4 eleven-story office towers, and 4 basements for car parking use, occupying ...

<p>In this paper, structural and ground behaviours of several excavations in Kaohsiung, Taiwan were described and examined. Based on behaviours observed from these excavations, it was found that the maximum lateral wall displacement (&delta;hmax) in relation ...

<p>The observed response of diaphragm wall and the surface settlement of a deep excavation for a metro station in Shanghai soft clay are presented, compared with the similar excavations (retained by a diaphragm wall) in soft clay areas in Asia and five metro ...

<p>In the paper problems related with the execution of 29m deep excavation of Nowy Swiat Station (S11) of 2nd metro line inWarsaw are discussed. In the central section,Warsaw 2nd metro line runs below the center of the city (office and housing buildings and ...

<p>The Tugun Bypass Tunnel in Gold Coast, Australia was constructed using diaphragm walls with the top-down cut-and-cover method to allow simultaneous construction of an airport runway extension above the tunnel, whilst excavation of the tunnel continued underneath. ...

<p>This publication discusses the general outline of the railway tunnel project around and below the new city hall. It explains the geotechnical engineering and construction of the retaining and supporting function of the railway tunnel wall while facing the ...
