Abstract: Simulations of construction of a 40‐ft‐deep braced excavation in saturated clays in Chicago have been made using a coupled finite element formulation. Surface and subsurface ground movements, pore water pressures, and ...

Abstract: Analyses and performance of groups of step‐tapered piles located adjacent to a 50‐ft‐deep tieback excavation are described. The excavation is made through primarily granular soils within an existing framed structure. The ...
