Excavations Adjacent to Structures
This chapter talks about excavations that are carried out adjacent to structures. It discusses the engineering measures for the excavations, and provides an analysis of retaining walls with active earth pressure. The chapter discusses active earth pressure for large distances and for small distances to structures. It provides an analysis of retaining walls with increased active earth pressure and with at‐rest earth pressure. The chapter discusses the mutual influence of opposing retaining walls for excavations adjacent to structures. If a horizontally braced excavation is only subject to earth pressures from structures on one side of the excavation, both walls can generally be designed according to the analysis for the retaining wall adjacent to the structure if no more precise analysis is performed.
