ABSTRACT

In this paper, a step by step FEM analysis is performed to predict the wall displacement and ground movement due to excavation in soft ground. In the analysis, the elasto-plastic Mohr-Coulomb failure model is used to examine the influence of the constitutive model. Moreover, to examine the influence of the deformation modulus used for the analysis, the deformation modulus is set from VS derived from PS logging or N value and cohesion c.
