A modified sheet piling system for deep excavation

Abstract EN

This paper presents a modified technique for anchored sheet pile systems for supporting deep excavation for construction.

The new technique eliminates the need for anchoring works beyond the excavation border.

Anchoring forces are replaced by supporting forces using cantilever pile groups within the construction site.

The proposed system offers a simple and economic solution to the problem of excavation near adjacent existing building.

The system was tested and the experimental results fairly matched the analytical ones.
