2/21/2023 1 CE 643 - Advanced Foundation Engineering Spring 2023 Week 6 02/21/2023 Sometimes construction work requires ground excavations with vertical or near- vertical faces. Examples: basements of buildings in developed areas or underground transportation facilities at shallow depths below the ground surface. The vertical faces of the cuts need to be protected by temporary bracing systems to avoid failure that may be accompanied by considerable settlement or by bearing capacity failure of nearby foundations. Introduction 1 2
2/21/2023 2 Brace excavation method (a) profile, (b) plan Installing horizontal struts Infront of retaining walls to resist the earth pressure on the backs of walls is called the braced excavation method. The bracing system of the braced excavation method includes struts, wales, end braces, corner braces, and center posts. Braced excavation method Braced excavation method 3 4
2/21/2023 3 Construction Methods Bottom-up Walls constructed before excavation Excavation succeeds slab construction Temporary supports installed during excavation. Bottom slab constructed first Top-down Uppermost slab constructed first Excavation of each level succeeds the construction of slab above it Construction Method Selection Criteria Bottom-up Top-down Temporary Bracing Needed Not needed Allowed Machinery Size Small-Medium Small-Medium Project Duration Long Short Cost High Moderate Suitable Locations Any Any Constructability Known for contractors Needs experience Construction Risk Medium Medium Suitable Project Size Deep but narrow site Large Design Considerations There are three main geotechnical design considerations: 1. Design the bracing based on the maximum expected loads 2. Stability of the excavation at all stages of construction 3. Magnitudes of deformation Effect on surrounding structures Closely related to the methods of constructions, dewatering, etc. 5 6

2/21/2023 7 Stability analysis Failure of collapse of excavations are disastrous at excavation sites. Their influence range is usually large: much ground settlement may arise and adjacent properties within the influence range of settlement may be damaged significantly. Failure of excavation may arise From the stress on the support system exceeding the strength of its materials. From the shear stress in soil exceeding the shear strength The methods of analyzing whether the soil at the excavation site are able to bear the stress generated by excavation are called the stability analysis. Stability analysis include: Overall shear failure analysis (push-in and basal heave failure analysis) Sand boiling analysis Upheaval analysis Overall shear failure When the shear stress at a point in soil exceeds or equals the shar strength of soil at the point, the point is in the failure state or limiting state. When many failure points connect up into continuities and form a plane, failure surface is thus produced. Once the failure surface is produced, the excavation failure or collapse will occur. This is called the overall shear failure. Two main overall failure modes of excavation: Push-in and basal heave Push-in Basal heave 13 14
2/21/2023 8 Push-in failure The push-in is caused by the earth pressure, reaching the limiting state, on the both sides of the retaining wall, which is thereby moved, a larger distance, towards the excavation zone (especially the pert embedded in soil) until it reaching the full zone failure. Push-in refers to the stability of the retaining wall. Also, causes the soil near the wall to heave Basal heave failure The basal heave arise from the weight of soil outside the excavation zone exceeding the bearing capacity of soil below the excavation bottom, causing the soil move and the excavation bottom to heave so much that the whole excavation collapse. The basal heave refer the stability of the soil below the excavation bottom, and its failure surface may pass through the bottom of the retaining wall or through the soil below the bottom of the retaining wall. Nevertheless, when it occurs to a soft clay ground the earth pressure on both sides of wall may also reach the limiting state cause push-in failure also possible. 15 16
2/21/2023 9 Push-in failure analysis There are two main analysis methods: 1. Free earth support method 2. Fixed earth support method Free support method is not applicable to cantilever wall as there will no force equilibrium. If the free earth support method is applied to a strutted wall, the force acting on wall will be including both the passive and active and the strut load. If the fixed earth support method to a strutted wall, the penetration depth of wall be too large to be economical. Push-in failure analysis For strutted wall, the free earth support method is the commonly used analysis method. Take the retaining wall below the lowest level of strut as a free body and conduct the equilibrium analysis Gross Pressure Method 17 18

2/21/2023 10 Gross Pressure Method Push-in failure analysis JSA (1988) and TGS (2001) suggested that: 𝐹 ≥ 1.5 . Nevertheless, when assume, 𝑀 = 0 , 𝐹 ≥ 1.2 For cohesive soil with 𝑆 (undrained shear strength) constant and ଶௌ ఊு ≥ 0.7 (i.e., 𝑆 large and not varying with the increase of depth, or shallow excavations), the results from the gross pressure method come illogical, that is the deeper the penetration depth of the retaining wall, the smaller the FS. Gross pressure method is not applicable to cohesive soil with constant 𝑆 values and ଶௌ ఊு is too large However, this method is good enough for ଶௌ ఊு < 0.7 Also, it is applicable when: = 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑡 or 𝑆 increase with increase depth Basal heave failure Analysis Analysis of basal heave failure are only applicable to clayey soils. Since ∅ = 0 for clay, the failure surface of bearing capacity failure in clay are circular arc surfaces. The basal heave failure due to excavation is also a kind of bearing capacity failure and might also have a main circular arc failure surface. The analysis method for basal heave varies with the assumed shapes of failure surface near ground or excavation surface, through the main failure surface is still a circular arc. 19 20
2/21/2023 11 Basal heave failure Analysis The analysis method of basal heave assumes many possible failure surfaces and finds their corresponding factors of safety according to mechanism. The one with the smallest FOS is the most likely potential failure surface. Basal heave failure Analysis Many analysis methods have been proposed for basal heave, the most commonly applied method is Terzaghi’s, Bjerrum and Eide’s method and the slip circle method. These methods will be categorized into the: Bearing capacity method Negative bearing capacity method Slip circle method 21 22
2/21/2023 12 Basal heave failure Analysis - Bearing capacity method B1 keep increase and measure the ratio of ultimate weight of soil (“abd”), until the trail failure surface covers the whole excavation (i.e., B1 = B/√2) The FOS against basal heave (F b ) for the excavation is the smallest one among the FOS corresponding to the trial failure surfaces. Since the width of the B1 wide soil on each side of excavation zone may produce the failures, the schematic diagram to calculate the FOS. Terzaghi (1948) – Basal Heave Failure 23 24

2/21/2023 13 The failure surface is not restricted by the stiff soil The failure surface is restricted by the stiff soil It was found that based on these above equations, the value of the factor of safety against basal heave has nothing to do with the existence of the retaining wall. However, in reality, the retaining wall with high stiffness may be capable of restraining the basal heave failure. Thus, actual FOS should be higher than the values given from above equations. 25 26
2/21/2023 14 Negative bearing capacity method Consider the unloading behavior caused by excavation Using bearing capacity equation, obtain the ultimate unloading pressure FOS = ultimate unloading pressure/unloading pressure 27 28

2/21/2023 19 Sand boiling Harza (1935) When the effective stress equal to zero, the soil is unable to bear any load, and this is calling the sad boiling The hydraulic gradient when the effective stress is equal to 0 is called the critical hydraulic gradient 𝑖 ௖௥ 𝑖 ௖௥ = 𝛾′ 𝛾 = 𝐺 − 1 1 + 𝑒 𝐺 is specific gravity and e is void ratio When the exit gradient (point A in figure) is close to the critical hydraulic gradient, the sand boiling occur. Harza (1935) defined the factor of safety against sand boiling: 𝐹 = 𝑖 ௖௥ 𝑖 ௠௔௫ (𝑒𝑥𝑖𝑡) 𝑖 ௠௔௫ is the maximum hydraulic gradient at the exit of the seepage, and can be obtained with the flow net method Sand boiling Terzaghi (1922) 37 38
