ABSTRACT
The excavation induced ground movements may cause deformation and damage in the adjacent infrastructure such as buildings and buried pipelines. The interaction between buildings and deep excavations is particularly complicated, and depends on a many factors, e.g. properties of the soil and structures, building type and configuration, foundations, the distance and relative position of buildings to the excavation, and the excavation activities. Finite element analysis is an effective way to investigate this problem, but detailed analysis has rarely seen in publications, probably due to the complexity.
