Field Behavior of Excavation Stabilized by Deep Soil Mixing
Publication: Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering
Volume 123, Issue 6
Abstract
This paper describes the performance of a tiedback excavation with a soil mixed wall in Boston where underlying marine clay was stabilized by deep soil mixing (DSM) and jet grouting. Lateral and vertical soil displacements, soil strains, and tieback loads are evaluated. The interaction between the retained soil and a reinforced concrete box culvert, supported on drilled shafts, is described. Piezometer measurements behind the wall are summarized. They show pore-water pressures in marine clay substantially less than the hydrostatic pressures assumed in design.
