Description
Summary:The increasing demand for underground space, for use as transportation tunnels, railway stations, expressways and construction of high-rise buildings is present in Singapore. In an urbanized city and land scarce country like Singapore, deep excavations are constructed in close proximity to sensitive structures. Hence the prediction of lateral earth pressure, strut loads, lateral wall deflections and bending moments are important considerations to avoid damage to adjacent structures.
