Abstract

In the previous chapter, a case history of a multi-propped excavation in a greenfield site in Shanghai soft clay is comprehensively documented. Together with the case history documented in this study and eight others reported in the literature (Liu et al. 2005; Wang et al. 2005; Tan and Wei 2011; Liu et al. 2011), it is found that excavation-induced ground deformation in Shanghai soft clay is relatively smaller than similar excavations in soft clay worldwide (Long 2001; Moormann 2004).
