Purpose Deep excavation in soft clay often causes additional deformations to surroundings. Then, if deformations cannot be predicted reasonably, the adjacent buildings may be threatened by the deep excavation. Based on the good field observations from ten deep excavations in Hangzhou, this paper aims to thoroughly investigate the characteristics of wall deflections and ground settlements induced by deep excavations. Design/methodology/approach On the basis of good field observation of ten deep excavations, the performances of excavations, supported by contiguous pile in Hangzhou, were studied, and also compared with other case histories. Findings The maximum wall deflections (dhm) rang mostly from 0.7 to 1.2 per cent He, where He is the final excavation depth, larger than those in Taipei and Shanghai. The observed maximum ground settlement in the Hangzhou cases generally ranges from 0.2 to 0.8 per cent He. Then, the settlement influence zone extends to a distance of 2.0-4.0 He from the excavation. The relatively large movements and influence zones in Hangzhou may be attributed to low stability numbers, large excavation widths and the creep effect. The excavation width is justified to have a significant influence on the wall deflection. Therefore, to establish a semi-empirical formula for predicting the maximum wall deflection, it is necessary to include the factor of excavation width. Originality/value The relevant literature concentrated on the characteristics of deep excavations supported by the contiguous pile wall in Hangzhou soft clay can rarely be found. Based on the ten deep excavations with good field observation in Hangzhou, the characteristics of wall deflection and ground settlements were comprehensively studied for the first time, which can provide some theoretical support for similar projects.

Dewatering using the dewatering systems composed of diaphragm walls and pumping wells is commonly adopted for deep excavations that are undertaken in deep aquifers. However, dewatering can sometimes induce environmental problems, especially when diaphragm walls cannot effectively cut off the aquifers. This paper mainly presents an innovative excavation technique combining dewatering excavation and underwater excavation without drainage, which is employed for a deep shaft excavation in ultrathick aquifers (up to 60–70 m thick aquifer) in Fuzhou, China. The shaft excavation with the depth of 41.6 m below the ground surface (BGS) is divided into two major phases, that is, (1) the first part of the excavation (the depth of 23.6 m BGS) is conducted by the way of conventional dewatering and braced excavation (Phase I) and (2) the second excavation with the depth of 23.6 m to 41.6 m BGS is carried out by the novel underwater excavation without drainage technique (Phase II). Field monitoring results show that the ratios of maximum ground surface settlement δvm to the excavation depth He in this case ranged from 0.03% to 0.1%. Most of the ratios of maximum lateral wall deflection δhm to excavation depth He are less than 0.1%. All these results are lesser than that predicted by empirical methods, which also confirmed the applicability of this innovative excavation. Thus, this innovative solution can be applicable to other deep excavations that are undertaken in ultrathick aquifers, especially for the excavation of coarse sediments with high permeability.

To meet the increasing demand for underground space for economical development and infrastructural needs, more and more deep excavations have been constructed in Shanghai. In this paper, field performance of a 38 m deep multistrutted excavation in Shanghai soft clay is reported. The deep excavation was retained by a 65 m deep diaphragm wall. Inclinometers as well as settlement and heave markers were installed to monitor the performance of the deep excavation. This project provides an unusual opportunity to study the differential heaves of center columns and diaphragm walls during excavation. Because of the significant stress relief resulting from the 38 m deep excavation, maximum heaves of the center column and diaphragm wall panel were about 30 and 16 mm, respectively. The measured ratio δp/H (heave/final excavation depth) of column is less than 0.1% whereas the observed δp/H of the diaphragm wall panel is about 0.04%. The maximum distortion between the column and the diaphragm wall panel is smaller than 1/500, which is within the limit range proposed by Bjerrum in 1963. Owing to careful construction control, stiff strutting system, and compaction grouting, the measured lateral wall deflections and ground settlements at this site are generally smaller than other shallower excavations in soft clays in Shanghai, Singapore, and Taipei.

Deep excavations in urban areas impose deformation to adjacent structures; hence the reliability of deformation analysis for the real deep excavation projects is very important to be assessed. In this study a framework is presented for the use of reliability methods in deformation analysis of deep urban excavations. The suggested framework is applied for 5 real deep excavation projects implemented during last 10 years. All studied cases were recognized as projects of high importance in urban areas, and were monitored during the excavation process. A non-probabilistic reliability analysis procedure, Random set method, in combination with finite element numerical modeling is applied to obtain the probability of unsatisfactory performance for each case. The reliability analysis results are confirmed by field observations and measurements. Typical results for the probability of analytical deformations exceeding the acceptable values along with the site observations and measured displacements for 5 real deep excavation projects show that the reliability analysis could be a beneficial tool for designer. It is concluded that applying the suggested framework in the design stage of deep excavation projects may lead to design more appropriate systems compared to common deterministic design methods.

An empirical procedure for fitting a complementary error function (erfc) to settlement and lateral ground movement data in a direction parallel to an excavation support wall is proposed based on extensive optical survey data obtained around a 12.8 m deep excavation in Chicago. The maximum ground movement and the height and length of an excavation wall define the erfc fitting function. The erfc fit is shown to apply to three other excavation projects where substantial ground movement data were reported.Key words: excavations, clays, ground movements, performance data.

An excavation in soft clay for the construction of a deep basement frequently is accompanied by large ground movements that may damage piles preinstalled at the base of the excavation. In a recent project involving the construction of a 10 m wide, 3.7 m deep drain, the construction method adopted entailed excavating the site soils and then driving precast concrete piles. The excavation was supported by steel sheet piles braced by one level of struts. Large settlements and horizontal movements of the ground were observed during pile driving. These movements exceeded those occurring during the excavation phase. Concrete aprons outside a one-story building adjacent to the excavation were badly damaged during excavation and pile driving. However, the building supported on steel piles was undamaged.Key words: deep excavation, sheet piles, pile driving, ground movement, basement construction.

Abstract In this study, the deformation characteristics of deep excavations retaining structure in loess areas are investigated statistically by analyzing filed measurements in three typical loess areas of Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Gansu. Generally, the study results showed that the maximum lateral displacement of the retaining structure ranges between 0.277‰H to 3.712‰H, with an average of 0.1029%H (H is the final excavation depth of excavations). The maximum lateral displacement is approximately located at 2/3 of the excavation depth. In addition, a quantitative analysis is carried out on the influencing factors for the lateral deformation of the retaining structure, such as the insertion ratio of retaining piles (walls), the length-wide ratio of the excavation plane, synthetical stiffness of the support system, heave-resistant safety factor, and the set depth of support in the first tunnel.

In recent years, China has been undergoing a metro railway construction boom in order to alleviate the urban traffic congestion problem resulting from the rapid urbanization and population growth in many metropolises. In the construction of metro systems, deep excavations and continuous dewatering for construction of the metro tunnels and stations remain a challenging and high risk task in densely populated urban areas. Intelligent computational methods and techniques have exhibited the exceptional talent in dealing with the complicated problems inherent in the deep excavation and dewatering practice. In this paper, an intelligent risk assessment system for deep excavation dewatering is developed and has been applied in the project of Hangzhou Metro Line 1 which is the first metro line of the urban rapid rail transit system in Hangzhou, China. The specific characteristics and great challenges in deep excavation dewatering of the metro-tunnel airshaft of Hangzhou Metro Line 1 are addressed. A novel design method based on the coupled three-dimensional flow theory for dewatering of the deep excavation is introduced. The modularly designed system for excavation dewatering risk assessment is described, and the field observations in dewatering risk assessment of the airshaft excavation of Hangzhou Metro Line 1 are also presented.

Deep excavations release stresses in the earth and redistribute these stresses causing deformation. The pressure loss due to excavation may result in a base instability, where the soil flow beneath the sheeting into the excavation, producing a rise in the base elevation commonly termed as heave. The heave can lead the foundation piles casted before excavation to floating and being in tension, and even induce the tensile failure of pile in severe case. The characters of foundation piles in different excavation conditions, different location have been analyzed by a case study. The calculation results show that the deeper excavation, the larger vertical force acted on the foundation pile and the heave could induce the tensile failure of the foundation piles. So it is recommended that the tensile capacity of the foundation piles should be verified when the excavation is very deep.

Deep excavations in soft-clay layer on sloped bedrock often leads to lateral displacement on retaining structures and uneven settlement due to unbalanced pressure generated from excavation. A construction project for which an excavation was complete in soft clay layer on sloped bedrock in Taipei City was adopted in the study. It is learned from the observation logs of the studied case that a significant difference exists in the lateral displacement of diaphragm wall and settlement between up and down-slope sides of sloped bedrock. Deep excavation is in fact profoundly complicated interaction between excavation strutting and soil. In general practice, the design of excavation is frequently simplified as a 2D strain behavior. However, the actual excavation on sloped bedrock is quite different from 1D or 2D simulation in a symmetric manner. Therefore, 2D finite element analysis program, PLAXIS, is introduced for the analysis on the behaviors of soil clay layer on sloped bedrock in excavation. The result is compared with onsite observation data, including displacement of retaining wall, settlement, axial loads of struts and others. The result of retaining wall displacement analysis is found consistent with the trend derived from onsite observation, which is possible for reference of similar engineering analyses and designs in the future.
