Improving methods of pit enclosure in dense urban settings

  • Published:
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

Abstract

Characteristic features are presented for the construction of deeply embedded sections of structures, for example, the erection of pit enclosures. Problems with the building of sheet-pile walls using cast-in-place piles screwed into predrilled hole under conditions whereby the natural seepage flow is retained are examined. New procedures are discussed for the installation of distributive and bracing bands for sheet piling. Conclusions concerning the expediency of use of the technical solutions under consideration, which are based on construction experience, are drawn.
