Abstract: Excavation usually involves the three-dimensional behavior of the supporting wall and nearby ground as indicated by wall and ground movements. In this study, wall deflection and ground settlement behavior with excavation ...

Abstract: This study proposed a method to characterize the effect of support system stiffness in excavation design based on a newly developed stiffness influence factor. Three-dimensional finite-element analyses were performed ...

Abstract: In this paper, the lateral load-carrying behavior of inclined micropiles installed in various soil–rock layer conditions was investigated based on the results from the model load tests and finite-element analyses. The ...

Abstract: In this study, the axial and lateral load-carrying behavior of encased micropile (MP) with perforated configuration was investigated. The perforated casing adopted in this study was a casing with holes on the casing surface ...
