Deformation and Failure Mechanism of Excavation in Clay Subjected to Hydraulic Uplift

Abstract

For deep excavations in soft clay with an underlying aquifer, there are three major concerns: excavation-induced ground deformation, soil-structure interaction and base instability due to hydraulic uplift. In this chapter, previous studies on these three aspects are reviewed. More importantly, major short-comings of previous works are indentified
