Furthermore, a new framework to describe the deformability of clays in the working stress range has been devised using a large database of previously published soil tests. This paper aims to capitalize on these advances, by analyzing an expanded database of ground movements associated with braced excavations in Shanghai. It is shown that conventional design charts fail to take account either of the characteristics of soil deformability or the relevant deformation mechanisms, and therefore introduce significant scatter. A new method of presentation is found which provides a set of design charts that clarify the influence of soil deformability, wall stiffness, and the geometry of the excavation in relation to the depth of soft ground.展开更多

It is noted that three parameters, which are dimensionless group velocity, normalized frequency, and grating strength, influence formed solitons by emulation. The novel designs of parallel and serial multi-grating are advanced, and the compound solitons formed from parallel multi-grating are linear superposition; the compound solitons formed from serial multi-grating are nonlinear superposition, and finally two general formulae are obtained.
