Two dimensional upper and lower-bound numerical analysis of the basal stability of deep excavations in clay

The basal stability of deep excavations in clay is often analysed using the classical approaches of Terzaghi (1943) and Bjerrum & Eide (1956). Terzaghi’s approach seems to be appropriate to excavation with small depth to width ratios, h/B, whereas Bjerrum & Eide give better results for great...
