Prediction and interpretation of the performance of a deep excavation in Berlin sand

This paper describes the application of a generalized effective stress soil model, MIT‐S1, within a commercial finite element program, for simulating the performance of the support system for the 20m deep excavation of the M1 pit adjacent to the main station “Hauptbahnhof” in Berlin. The M1 pit was...
