  • Besides soil improvement methods, buttress and cross walls could be used as an alternative measure to control excessive deformations induced by deep excavation. In this thesis, three-dimensional finite element analyses were conducted, and well-documented case histories were analyzed to verify the obtained results. Three buttress wall shapes were investigated, such as the common rectangular shape (R-shape), the capital L-letter (L-shape), the combination of the R-shape and L-shape (RL-shape), and the combination of the R-shape and the cross wall (U-shape). Each shape has its own characteristics and the deformations control mechanism were examined properly.
    For the R-shape buttress wall, maintaining the buttress wall during excavation was suggested and it could form the integrated retaining system. For the demolished treatment of buttress walls, results showed that the RL-shape yielded a better performance in reducing wall deflections and ground surface settlements compared with the R-shape. Furthermore, for the U-shape wall, the top of the cross wall was located at the final excavation level until a certain depth which can be beneficial to save the construction cost. It was suggested that the normalized cross wall depth ratio (Dcw/He) was 0.15-0.2 to yield an optimum performance. Also, the design of the buttress wall length depends on the target value of the reduction. For 8 m intervals of the U-shape wall, 5 m length of the buttress wall could reduce the wall deflection and the ground settlement around 60%-80%.
    Furthermore, the rigid and fixed diaphragm wall strut-free retaining system (RFD system) is a definite advancement of using cross walls, buttress walls, and diaphragm walls as an integrated retaining wall system. It is also a strut-free retaining wall system because no struts should be installed as lateral supports. It is applicable for a large and deep excavation geometry in soft clay. The main characteristics of this system were (1) forming a rigid and fixed retaining system by a series of rib-walls and cross walls. Hence, wall deflections below the final excavation level induced by deep excavation were very small, and (2) forming a rigid retaining wall by buttress walls and the cap-slab. The installation of the buttress wall increased the system stiffness of the RFD system and caused the rigid wall deflection. The system stiffness of the RFD system was a major factor in controlling deformations induced by excavation. In addition, the excavation geometry determined the dimension of each component of the RFD system.
