• TITLE: Deep Foundation Pit Excavations Adjacent to Disconnected Piled Rafts: A Review on Risk Control Practice

  AUTHORS: Bantayehu Uba Uge, Yuancheng Guo

  KEYWORDS: Deep Foundation Pit Excavation, Disconnected Piled Raft Foundation, Risk Control, Observational Method

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Civil Engineering, Vol.10 No.3, September 24, 2020

  ABSTRACT: Foundation pit excavation engineering is an old subject full of decision making. Yet, it still deserves further research due to the associated high failure cost and the complexity of the geological conditions and/or the surrounding existing infrastructure around it. This article overviews the risk control practice of foundation pit excavation projects in close proximity to existing disconnected piled raft. More focus is given to geotechnical aspects. The review begins with achievements to ensure excavation performance requirements, and follows to discuss the complex soil structure interaction involved among the fundamental components: the retaining wall, mat, piles, cushion, and the soil. After bringing consensus points to practicing engineers and decision makers, it then suggests possible future research directions.
