Abstract: Estimate of deformations around urban excavations is a primary concern for designers, contractors, owners, and potentially affected third parties. Significant efforts have gone into the development of empirically based ...

Abstract: Precedent and observation of performance are an essential part of the design and construction process in geotechnical engineering. For deep urban excavations designers rely on empirical data to estimate potential deformations ...

Abstract: Braced excavations for the Central Artery/Tunnel project in Boston, Mass. include several instrumented sections for monitoring excavation and ground response to soil removal and strut installation. Strain in the struts is ...
