Abstract: A safety monitoring system is usually applied in deep excavations in order to control the construction risk and to ensure the serviceability of adjacent facilities. Considering the mass data collected by different sensors, ...

Abstract: To reduce ground displacements induced by dewatering and excavation in foundation engineering, it is crucial to predict the ground displacements before construction. Two types of analyses, i.e., transient analysis (TA) and ...

Abstract: Rankine pressure involves the special case of active earth pressure and merely considers the influence of the internal friction angle; however, the analytical solution for the general case involving a rough retaining wall, ...

Abstract: The current analytical solutions for axisymmetric active earth pressure are based on certain hypothetical relationships between the circumferential stress, the average stress of the meridional plane, and the main shear ...

Abstract: Excavation-induced unloading effects and dewatering-induced groundwater seepage inevitably result in basal soil reverse consolidation in deep excavation. However, this reverse consolidation process is rarely considered ...

Abstract: A novel semianalytical method is proposed to estimate the earth pressure exerted on rigid retaining walls supporting a narrow granular backfill in this study, which is based on the assumption of a log-spiral failure surface. ...

Abstract: Engineering practices indicate that stratum hydraulic conductivity (SHC) has a significant influence on deep excavations. However, this influence has been ignored in previous studies with undrained analyses. In this study, ...

Abstract: Axial forces can be artificially adjusted in deep excavations braced with servo struts to reduce excavation-induced deformations. The interactions among the servo strut, retaining wall, and retained soil must be considered ...
