Methods of Excavation and Retaining Structures
- General
- Geotechnical Investigations Specific to Trenches and Urban Excavations
- Rigid Gravity and Cantilever Retaining Walls
- Flexible Retaining Walls (Cantilever and Anchored Sheet Piles)
- Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Walls (with Metal Strips, Geotextiles, Geogrids)
- Walls with Earth Materials, Including Gabion Walls
- Excavation Stabilization Using Inclined Bracing (Rakers)
- Excavation Stabilization Using Cross-Lot Bracing
- Excavation Stabilization Using Soil Nailing
- Excavation Stabilization Using Ground Anchors
- Excavation Stabilization Using Pile Walls (Secant, Tangent, and Discontinuous)
- Excavation Stabilization Using Diaphragm Walls
- Stabilization Using Combined Methods (Combination of the Above Methods)
- Excavation Stabilization Using Anchoring to a Portion of the Main Structure (Island Methods)
- Top-Down Construction Methods
- Dewatering and Seepage Control in Excavations and Retaining Structures
