Cantilever walls are an ideal solution when an open excavation is required without lateral support obstructions. DeepEX’s analysis tools allow you to:

Evaluate excavation depths up to 18 feet with ease

Simplify construction without tiebacks or anchors

Optimize wall stiffness to meet project demands

Create watertight excavations in water-laden or high-moisture environments with precision:

Model both rectangular and circular cofferdam shapes, ideal for bridge piers and underwater constructions

Explore braced, cellular, or double-walled sheet pile designs for enhanced stability and safety

Use advanced options to consider lateral forces, internal bracing, and dewatering techniques

Achieve maximum support with minimum movement using anchored wall designs. With DeepEX, you can:
Design high-capacity anchor systems for urban or high-stress environments
Minimize ground settlement with accurately placed tiebacks
Customize anchor type, spacing, and prestress levels to achieve optimal stiffness

Cross-lot bracing offers strong internal support for narrow excavations. DeepEX enables you to:

Design and preload struts or rakers for maximum stability

Control wall movements and avoid leakage risks with precise strut placement

Tailor bracing setups for excavations where tiebacks are not feasible

Deadman wall systems provide effective lateral stability for retaining walls by anchoring them to buried structures (deadmen) located away from the excavation site. With DeepEX, you can:

Design deadman walls to stabilize excavation walls without the need for tiebacks within adjacent properties

Customize wall and anchor dimensions based on site-specific loads and spacing requirements

Model soil and load interactions to ensure effective load transfer and excavation stability

For projects where tiebacks are impractical, the top-down method allows simultaneous construction of floors and excavation:

Plan and sequence complex top-down excavations easily with our intuitive tools

Model concrete slabs and basement floors step-by-step as excavation progresses

Control movements and maintain structural integrity in high-density areas

Circular shafts are ideal for deep excavations requiring support in all directions, often used in tunnels, silos, and elevator shafts. DeepEX allows you to:

Design and analyze circular shaft systems with precision for uniform load distribution

Model various shaft diameters, wall thicknesses, and bracing configurations

Optimize structural stability under complex loads, including groundwater and lateral pressures
