Guidelines of Engineering Practice for Braced and Tied-Back Excavations, Paperback / softback Book

Guidelines of Engineering Practice for Braced and Tied-Back Excavations Paperback / softback

Part of the Geotechnical Special Publication series

Paperback / softback

Description

When an excavation is made in soil or rock, materials adjacent to the cut face lose their natural lateral support.

It then becomes necessary to support the excavation by using braces and tiebacks.

These will provide the lateral restraint needed for safety.

These guidelines have been prepared to aid civil engineers in making the essential decisions regarding construction safety and excavation activities.

They are also intended to provide information and conceptual orientation for owners, funding agencies, contractors, and engineering and architectural staff.
