Deep Excavations: A Practical Manual

Deep Excavations: A Practical Manual






This book assembles the practical rules and details for the efficient
and economical execution of deep excavations. It draws together a wealth
of experience of both design and construction from published work and
the lifetime practice of the author. This second edition is extensively
revised to include changes in design emphasis including those due to
Eurocode 7 and descriptions of the latest equipment, construction
techniques and geotechnical processes. Additional details include those
of the latest piling and diaphragm wall equipment and innovations in
top-down construction applied to basements and cut-and-cover works. The
section on caissons has been expanded to include design methods. The
successful conceptual design of temporary and permanent works for the
support of deep excavations requires both freshness of ideas and
experience of similar construction. The purpose of this book is to
present varied international examples in sufficient detail to allow this
to succeed.
