Sometimes construction work requires ground excavations with vertical or near-vertical faces, for example, basements of buildings in developed areas or underground transportation facilities at shallow depths below the ground surface (a cut-and-cover type of construction). 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. Two types of braced cut commonly used in construction work. DISCUSS in details the function of both types.
