Excavations in Soft Soils
This chapter talks about excavations on soft soils, and discusses slopes, wall types, construction procedure and shear strength in relation to soft soils. Then, it analyzes earth pressure and ground reactions for retaining walls in soft soils. If it is not possible, or no measures are taken, to dewater a deep, permeable layer, it shall be assumed that saturated, soft soil is buoyant and hydrostatic water pressure is active. The chapter discusses the determination of embedment depths and action effects for excavations in soft soils. Stability analyses, water management and serviceability for excavations in soft soils are also discussed in the chapter.
