Stability of strutted excavations in clay

Abstract: Synopsis The present Paper describes a procedure for estimating the danger of a base failure in a strutted excavation in clay. Terzaghi and Tschebotarioff have previously given formulae for such calculations, but these are limited to shallow excavations. On the basis of the familiar bearing capacity calculations for foundations on clay a new approach to the problem is developed, in which the critical depth of an excavation is given by: where s and y are the undrained shear strength and density of the clay, r… Show more

“…The safety factor of basal stability is predicted using the methods proposed by Prandtl recommended by JGJ 120-2012. Compared with the common methods proposed by Terzaghi [17] and Bjerrum and Eide [48], the Prandtl stability analysis method is slightly conservative [49], which means that it is safer for the design. The safety factor against basal instability is expressed as follows:…”

“…Up to the present, the safety factor of excavations has been usually predicted using the methods proposed by Terzaghi [1] or Bjerrum and Eide [2] based on two-dimensional assumptions. For three-dimensional calculations, a modification factor k s is applied to the safety factor or the N c value of Bjerum and Eide to consider the shape effect.…”

“…One of the modifications suggested by Terzaghi (1943) also takes the wall embedment depth D into account. Bjerrum and Eide (1956) provided an approach for determining the factor of safety for narrow excavations to complement Terzaghi's method. A bearing capacity factor Nc is introduced, which can be determined as a function of the H/B ratio and L/B ratio, where H refers to the excavation depth, L refers to the excavation length and B refers to the excavation width.…”
