Finite Element Modelling of a Deep Excavation in Boston Blue Clay
AbstractThe work investigates the behaviour of a deep excavation that forms part of a wide basement located in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. The glacial marine clay deposit is modelled with a kinematic hardening model for structured soils, its reduced bubble model version and the well-known Modified Cam Clay model. The aim of the work is to assess the effects of the added features of the advanced model, such as small-strain stiffness, structure degradation and anisotropy, on the numerical prediction of the overall behaviour of the excavation. The first part of the paper provides a brief description of the site conditions, ground profile and construction sequences for the case study under consideration. Then, the soil model calibration process using experimental undrained triaxial, self-boring pressuremeter and constant rate of strain consolidation tests is discussed. Finally, the comparison of the predicted wall deflection and ground settlements profiles with observed movements is presented
