Construction, design, and measured performance of deep excavations Interaction of retaining structure with adjacent building: Multi-stage numerical analysis

For the surveillance of the movements of the adjacent building several inspection points were installed at different periods of time and at various levels, including the top of the building as well as the common boundary of the two buildings. Displacement measurements recorded every day showed that further measures should be taken in order to prevent soil movement and limit stress release under the foundation during the construction of the diaphragm wall (before the hardening of the concrete).
