This paper describes the displacement and force behavior of a braced deep excavation
under unsymmetrical surcharge effect. The horizontal displacements and bending moments …

This case study presents an investigation on building settlement induced by dewatering for a
deep excavation constructed in a deposit in Tianjin, China. The excavation site is located in …

This paper proposed a series of simple equations to calculate the head difference at the two
sides of waterproof curtain. The barrier effect of waterproof curtain is considered from two …

For deep excavation pits that require the pumping of confined groundwater, a combination of
a retaining wall and dewatering with large-diameter wells is usually adopted during …

Dewatering before excavation can induce obvious wall deflection; however, engineers
rarely monitor it before excavation. This traditional monitoring data will undervalue the …

The urban area of Hangzhou is located in the northeast region of the Hangzhou Bay, beside
the estuary of the Qiantang River. Three main ancient rivers are present in the case study …

Dewatering with pumping wells placed inside an excavation is commonly adopted as
groundwater control system to ensure the construction safety in water-rich strata. However …

When a foundation pit is under hydraulic connection with surrounding environment,
foundation pit dewatering usually incurs a series of environmental problems such as ground …

The expected growth of urban areas requires the construction of underground
infrastructures, especially for improving transportation and mobility. These new …

Pre-excavation dewatering (PED) is an important construction stage in deep excavation.
Field measurements show that retaining walls can develop obvious deflections during PED …
