This paper adopted both the numerical and analytical methods to investigate the excavation
stability against base heave failure. The finite element limit analysis method (OPTUM) was …

Excavations for underground structures, such as working shafts, underground grain silos,
and parking garages, are characterized by uniformity, consistent dimensions, large …

The limit analysis incorporated with the random field theorem is an effective approach for the
probabilistic analysis of geotechnical engineering stability. A failure mechanism for …

This study presents an improved in-flight strutting system for centrifuge modelling. Based on
the centrifuge model test data, the mobilizable strength design (MSD) method was revised …

Reliable predictions of time-dependent diaphragm wall deflections in deep excavations in
soft soils are crucial for managing potential damage to the surrounding environment …

This study evaluates and estimates the effect of cross walls on the strut force for braced
excavation in clays by using three-dimensional finite element analysis. A well-documented …

A foundation pit's excavation area, which is determined by its radius in a circular foundation
pit, exerts a considerable influence on the pit's behavior. Using a full-scale experiment on a …
