The horizontal wall deflection of the braced excavations is influenced by many factors,
including the excavation geometry, wall stiffness, soil parameters, struts spacing and so …

A series of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) finite element analyses using
the Hardening Soil (HS) model were carried out to investigate the influences of soil …

The urban development often requires the use of the underground space and the number of
deep excavation pits in city centers is increasing every year. To minimize the effects of …

Three-dimensional coupled consolidation analysis is conducted to gain insight into the
response of a 2× 2 floating pile group adjacent to deep excavation in soft clay. By using a …

Three-dimensional numerical parametric study is conducted to investigate stress transfer
mechanisms and settlement of a floating pile due to multi-propped basement excavation by …

Embedded retaining walls equipped with ground heat exchangers is one kind of energy
geostructures, harvesting the shallow ground energy for heating and cooling buildings …

Excessive excavation-induced movements are major concerns for most underground
construction projects in urban areas. These movements can lead to significant damage in …

The design of deep excavations requires careful consideration of the influence of various
soil/structure interaction mechanisms and detailed issues relating to the construction …

The basement of the Stata Center building on the MIT campus required 12.8 m deep
excavations covering a large open-plan site and underlain by more than 25 m of lightly …

Reports on the serviceability stage and long-term performance of embedded retaining
structures are scarce, even more so in areas with background settlements. This paper …
