Braced cuts

The braced cut is a method of providing lateral support to the soil in foundation trenches, to prevent the trenches from deformation by the caving in of soil and resisting it from moving laterally. During shallow excavation in firm soil, generally, slopes are provided to resist the caving in of soil. During shallow excavation in soft soil and deep excavation, the chances of caving in of soil increase. Hence, it becomes necessary to make a provision to resist the deformation of trenches due to caving in of soil. The braced cut is the method used for such conditions. The excavation using braced cuts is a bit uneconomical as compared to the traditional open-cut excavation method but provides better safety than the cut excavation method.

The water table at a site is at 5 m below the ground level, and it is required to excavate to this level. The soil profile consists of a thick bed of sand where the unit weight is m = 17.0 kN/m3 above the water table and sat = 20.0 kN/m3 below the water table. The friction angle of the sand is 37. The wall of the excavation will be supported by cantilever sheet piles. How deep would you drive the sheet piles? Use the simplified analysis (Figure 15.37) with a factor of safety of 1.5 on the passive resistance.

Due to some ongoing construction work, it is proposed to lower the water table to 3 m below the ground level. What will be the change in the effective stress on top of the soft clay layer?
