Observed behaviors of a long and deep excavation constructed by cut-and-cover technique in shanghai soft clay / Yong Tan in Journal of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering, Vol. 138 N° 1 (Janvier 2012)

To investigate the performance of this deep excavation and the associated effect on the adjacent buildings and utility pipelines, a long-term comprehensive instrumentation program was conducted during construction. Field observations included deflections of diaphragm walls, vertical movements at wall tops, ground settlements, and settlements of surrounding buildings and utilities. Analyses of field data indicated that overexcavation (i.e., removing more soil than designed) and a long construction duration caused the diaphragm walls to develop substantial deflections. The base and middle floor slabs played dominant roles in suppressing postexcavation wall deflections and ground settlements. This excavation in general exhibited different behaviors than other excavation projects because of its relatively long shape. Behaviors of deep excavations in Shanghai soft clay are affected not only by construction duration (i.e., time effects), but also by their geometries (i.e., space effects). This project serves as a special case study and provides insights into the design and construction of a long and deep excavation that uses the cut-and-cover technique in soft soils and in a metropolitan environment.
