| Abstract | Three types of deep excavations are studied in this thesis.
They include the sheet piled walls, the jet grouted piled walls and
the diaphragm walls.
In the case of sheet piled walls, earth pressure computations
are needed to estimate the factor of safety on the pile
penetration. Additionally, a safety factor of 1.5 is stipulated on
the strut load and the basal heave failure. A finite element
analysis was done to compute the lateral movements and these values
are compared with the measured displacements.
Laboratory tests were condu cted to determine the strength of
the jet grouted clay and stability analysis was then done to
estimate the safety factor for t h e overall stability of these
excavations. The lateral movements as observed in three sites with
diaphragm walls were compared with the computed values using finite
element analysis.
The thesis also include comprehensive details on the
construction sequence adopted in all the three types of excavations
as well as the common geotechnical problems encountered in deep
excavations . The sheet piled excavations are of various geometry
and shapes. A simple criterion base on basal heave analysis is
presented to correlate the damage to adjacent structures as a
function of the safety factor. |
