A database of some 300 case histories of wall and ground movements due to deep
excavations worldwide is presented. Although recognizing the weakness in the approach, a …

With continued economic development and increasing urbanization, excavations go deeper
and become larger in scale, and are sometimes even carried out in difficult soils. These …

A nonlinear, three-dimensional finite element technique for deep excavation analysis is
proposed in this paper. The technique as well as the analytical procedures for modeling the …

Accurate prediction of ground-surface settlement adjacent to an excavation is often difficult
to achieve without using accurate representation of small-strain nonlinearity in a soil model …

A 16–18 m deep excavation for a metro station with in-plane dimensions of approximately
20 m wide by 290 m long was constructed by using the cut-and-cover technique in soft clay …

This paper presents results of a series of numerical experiments, using nonlinear finite-
element analyses, which investigate the effects of wall embedment depth, support …

This paper presents a new generalized effective stress model, referred to as MIT‐S1, which
is capable of predicting the rate independent, effective stress–strain–strength behaviour of …

When shield tunnelling is constructed in complex geological conditions using a tunnel
boring machine, the disc cutter in the cutterhead easily wears to the failure state, particularly …

The number of safety accidents caused by excavation of deep foundation pits in subway
stations has been increasing rapidly in recent years. Thus, precisely predicting the safety …

Via a long-term comprehensive instrumentation program, the performance of a 26 m deep
metro station excavation constructed by the top-down method in downtown Shanghai was …
