This book assembles the practical rules and details the economical and efficient execution of deep excavations. Although formal Codes of Practice may begin life with the same intention, it appears that they may also constrain innovation and ingenuity behind a set of rules and regulations which, as time passes, become regarded as the only basis of acceptable foundation engineering design. The collected data and experience provided in this major book presents examples of design and solutions to construction problems which dispel the concept of design by regulation. Based on the authors practical experience and many years of research, this book is completely up-to-date with modern techniques and methods and uses data and case studies from around the world.
