Case studies of buttress-wall type ground improvement in strutted excavations
Abstract
An earth retaining system using buttress-wall type ground improvement, which reduces the deformation of the retaining wall during strutted excavation has been developed. This paper describes three applications of this system in soft clay and demonstrates its effectiveness by monitoring in each site. The effects are investigated by focusing on the movement of the retaining wall just below the excavation bottom and comparing the deformations with different sections in the sites.
