Load Methods Effect on Excavations
An Example Why DeepEX Would be Valuable for your Engineering Practice:
Selecting the appropriate surcharge method can have a significant impact in the design of any deep excavation model. Below we present the effect of different external load methods on a cantilever excavation model in the calculation of the wall embedment and the selection of the required structural section. The analysis of the models is performed with our shoring design software - DeepEX.
The following cases are evaluated:
Case 1: Distributed Surface Load – Elasticity Equations (Boussinesq etc.)
Case 2: Distributed Surface Load – 2-Way Distribution Method
Case 3: Distributed Surface Load – 1-Way Distribution Method
Case 4: Distributed Surface Load – Elasticity Equations x2 (AREMA Specifications)
Case 5: 3D Load (Footing) – Distributed Load – Elasticity Equations
Case 6: 3D Load (Footing) – Distributed Load – 2-Way Distribution from Soil Friction
Case 1 - Elasticity Equations: Wall Embedment FS, Wall Moment & Surcharge Pressure Diagrams
Case 2 - 2-Way Distribution: Wall Embedment FS, Wall Moment & Surcharge Pressure Diagrams
Case 3 - 1-Way Distribution: Wall Embedment FS, Wall Moment & Surcharge Pressure Diagrams
Case 4 - Elasticity Equations x 2: Wall Embedment FS, Wall Moment & Surcharge Pressure Diagrams
Case 5 - 3D Load Elasticity Equations: Wall Embedment FS, Wall Moment & Surcharge Pressure Diagrams
Case 6 - 1-Way Distribution from Soil Friction: Wall Embedment FS, Wall Moment & Surcharge Pressure Diagrams
