INTERNALLY BRACED CUTS IN OVERCONSOLIDATED SOILS

The performance characteristics of 5 internally braced excavations made to depths ranging from 23 to 60 feet are presented. The performance characteristics studied include strut load measurements, wall deflections, and ground movements beyond the excavation. Case studies are described which include the vertical movement of adjacent structures that were supported by the excavation retention systems without underpinning foundations. Conclusions drawn from the study, and recommendations relating to design earth pressure are presented.
