Comparison of back analysis and measured lateral displacement of cantilever diaphragm wall

This study is aimed to evaluate the performance of a cantilever diaphragm wall earth retaining system, constructed by staged excavation. The actual performance extracted from geotechnical instrument is compared with the numerical method. The numerical method is using Soil Hardening model. The simula...
