Abstract: This study proposes a simplified reliability-based design (RBD) method for the serviceability limit state (SLS) of excavations considering cross walls. Although the effects of cross walls are highlighted, the proposed ...

Abstract: Because of limited information in site investigation, it is not possible to obtain the actual values for the trend (t), standard deviation (σ), and scale of fluctuation (δ) of a spatially variable soil property of interest. ...

Abstract: Spatial variability of soil undrained shear strength is usually not rigorously considered in the design of basal heave for deep excavations. In this study, the slip circle method is employed to investigate how the required ...
