Benchmarked Excavations - DeepEX

Additional Deep Excavation Case Studies


The following table provides basic information on additional case studied for deep excavations. The majority of the deep excavations are supported by slurry walls. Wall Types: RCDW: Reinforced Concrete Diaphragm Wall, SPTC: Soldier Pile & Tremie Wall, SPW: Sheet Pile Wall, SP: Soldier Pile and Lagging, TPW: Tangent Pile Wall, SMW: Soil Mix Wall
