Stability of Unsupported Axisymmetric Excavations in Soft Clay
The object of this report was to critically examine the possible failure mechanisms of a vertical axisymmetric excavation. Throughout, the soil is assumed to behave as a Tresca material with a uniform undrained shear strength Cu. Both wall failure and base failure mechanisms are considered using the upper bound theorem of plasticity. The soil is assumed to be saturated to ground level, and the excavation is of depth D and radius ro. The results obtained are compared with bound solutions obtained by other research workers.
