Soil Stabilizing Structures for Ground Cavitations

 

Soil stabilizing structures are essential for enhancing the safety and stability of the walls of pits and trenches. These structures work in conjunction with the inherent resistance of the soil to reinforce and stabilize the excavation walls.


The correct selection and implementation of soil stabilizing structures are crucial for ensuring the safety and stability of pits and trenches. This process requires thorough technical and field investigations. Additionally, coordinating and negotiating with neighbors, as well as aligning plans with actual site conditions, are of particular importance. By adhering to these guidelines, you can ensure the safety and sustainability of construction projects.

 

Soil Braced Structures for Ground Cavitations


Soil braced excavation, also known as the bracing cut method, is a technique used to stabilize narrow excavations, particularly when neighboring properties do not permit other methods.


In this method, similar to the truss retaining structure approach, vertical members are installed at regular intervals. Horizontal members are then placed between these vertical members to prevent wall deformation.


Due to space constraints in narrow excavations, the truss retaining method, which requires inclined members, is often impractical. Therefore, the bracing strut method serves as a suitable alternative.

Excavation with Top-Down Method


The “top-down” method in civil engineering is a construction technique where the upper floors of a structure are built first, followed by the gradual creation of the lower floors. This method is particularly advantageous for construction projects in urban areas or confined spaces, as it helps reduce construction time, enhance safety, and minimize negative impacts on the surrounding environment. It is especially useful for stabilizing excavations and underground structures.


In this approach, stabilization operations are not performed separately; instead, they are carried out simultaneously with the construction of the main structure. This integration significantly reduces both the costs and time associated with stabilization. Consequently, the top-down method is a cost-effective and time-efficient solution for investors in the construction field.


Ice Geotechnical Services, with extensive experience in this and other well-stabilization methods, is a leading group in the country. They have successfully implemented numerous projects using the top-down method with metal frameworks, concrete frameworks, and prefabricated sections.



Disadvantages of the Top-Down Method


  • Specialized workforce required: Needs experienced and skilled personnel for execution.
  • Increased column dimensions: Extending and enlarging column ends to bear temporary loads can raise construction costs.
  • Limited working space: Excavating basement floors can be time-consuming and costly.
  • Separation of work areas: Creates a divide between underground and above-ground workspaces, with access to underground areas only through designated openings.
  • Pre-planned openings: Requires careful planning of opening locations and dimensions to facilitate the removal of drilling machines from underground floors.
  • Ventilation needs: Necessitates a proper ventilation system to manage pollution from drilling and excavation.
  • Potential deviations: Risk of deviations beyond permissible limits in columns and surrounding buffer walls during implementation.

Advantages of the Top-Down Method


  • No need for neighbor consent: Reduces legal complications.
  • No temporary guard structure required: Simplifies stabilization.
  • Simultaneous construction: Allows for concurrent implementation of the superstructure and substructure, reducing project time.
  • Suitable for deep excavations: Effective in challenging conditions.
  • Cost and time efficiency: Eliminates the need for a temporary guard structure, lowering overall project costs and duration.
  • Versatile design options: Can be used with concrete (both prefabricated and in situ) and steel structures.
  • Adaptable to various land types: Applicable in both confined and expansive areas.
  • Environmentally friendly: Minimizes environmental pollution.
  • Seismic dynamics of base-ground soil
  • SSI Interaction

  • Presenting new methods of excavation and soil stabilizer structure
  • Design and implementation of the top-down method
  • Providing drainage maps of the submerged structure before and after implementation
