Assessment of basal heave for wide excavations using the finite element method

Braced excavation is gaining popularity as a construction method. To design an excavation safely, designers must have a good knowledge of the behavior of excavations, especially bottom basal heave. Besides, they should also know the limitations of using conventional methods and finite element metho...
