Abstract: A 16–18 m deep excavation for a metro station with in-plane dimensions of approximately 20 m wide by 290 m long was constructed by using the cut-and-cover technique in soft clay in the Shanghai metropolitan area, in which ...

Abstract: This paper examines the performance of an overexcavated metro station in soft clay within Shanghai metropolitan area, in which there are many high-rise buildings and buried utility pipelines in the proximity. The excavation ...

Abstract: The displacement-based seismic-design (DSD) methods, owing to their simplicity and efficiency, have been more and more recognized in structural seismic-research communities during the past few years. However, the dynamic

Abstract: Four metro stations with similar supporting systems and pit geometries in Shanghai soft clay were excavated using different soil removal procedures, which led to distinctly different pit behaviors. Through analyzing and ...

Abstract: By analyzing the field data from nine metro-station pits with aspect ratios (AR) of pit length to width of 6.6–19.4 in Shanghai soft clay, this paper investigates the potential corner effects (i.e., the retaining walls ...

Abstract: This paper contains a summary of the developments and applications of the two-dimensional discontinuous deformation analysis (DDA2D) method regarding the modeling of rock-mass dynamics problems. Reviews on the control ...

Abstract: Because of its great length, one subway terminal excavation in Shanghai, China, was divided into two pits for sequential construction. Although it featured an adequate earth-supporting system and the field construction ...
