Abstract: To study the corrosion of steel H piles in a completely decomposed granite, piles were exposed by excavation 22 years after their installation. The thickness of the pile sections was measured. The average corrosion rate ...

Abstract: The basement excavation of the Singapore Post Center involved extensive jet grouting to improve the soft marine clay present within the excavation. The treated soil mass, with much improved strength and deformation ...

Abstract: Differential settlements between a bridge and the backfill behind the abutment have been a major problem in the construction of expressway embankments over a soft clay foundation. Deep cement mixing (DCM) columns with ...

Abstract: The construction of diaphragm wall panels can cause movements to the adjacent ground. The magnitude of the movements depends on various factors such as the construction technique, soil type, and panel dimensions. These ...
