Design and Construction of Excavations in an Urban Setting – Lessons Learnt from Failures L. J. Endicott AECOM Asia Co Ltd, Hong Kong Department of Civil and Structural Engineering, University of Hong Kong Department of Civil and Structural Engineering, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology ABSTRACT: Safety is fundamental in Civil Engineering, yet failures happen. There are detailed Codes of Practice and various levels of checking, often detailed checking by Third parties. Failures should not occur; but they do. This paper makes reference to some catastrophic failures of deep excavations. It sets out some of the causative factors and explores what lessons have been learned from those cases. The main example is the collapse with fatalities of a 30m deep excavation alongside the Nicoll Highway in Singapore in 2004. This example is unusual in that the failed section happened to be at the location of an instrumented section and data is available from monitoring up to, and during, the collapse. Also many factors were disclosed during the official inquiry. The Inquiry and its findings are well documented. Subsequently remedial measures were put in place these measures relate to design standards, design methods, instrumentation, monitoring, supervision.

    Risk Assessment in Deep Excavations and their Effect on Surrounding Structures : A review Syed Uzairuddin 3rd Year UG, Civil Engineering Dept. National Institute of Technology, Raipur [email protected] Abstract—Construction is crucial to a country's overall The amount and direction of the generated deformations are economic growth, particularly in developing countries, in dependent on the building's closeness to the excavations, as the current era of globalization. If construction operations shown schematically in Fig. 1. Ground movement prediction are not carried out strictly according to a local or national and management around these construction pits are critical building code, they might result in large-scale failures during the planning and construction phases of these endangering human lives, personnel property, and the excavations to protect surrounding structures from current and economic balance. It is vital to handle the construction future activities as the project progresses(El-Nahhas 2013). process's risk elements. The self weight of soil behind the retaining line is the driving force and shear strength of soil is the resisting force as a result, deep excavations invariably cause lateral and vertical ground deformations. As a result of the produced ground deformations, nearby buildings and utilities become kinetically loaded. Risks associated with ground movement cannot be calculated solely using mathematical predicting models and engineering simulations as it needs to address the uncertainty of soil properties, Geo-materials, ground constitutive nature, building stage modelling, three- dimensional impacts of deep excavations, time-dependent natures of ground deformations, and the critical necessity to include human variables such as craftsmanship into prediction models are all important considerations.This article provides an overview of risk assessment and management technologies and approaches that have been adapted for use in deep excavations.

  • Everyday Guardians, Captures a Brief History and the Key Highlights of NS in the Five Everyday Decades Since
    14mm SINCE 1967, NATIONAL SERVICE (NS) OFFICERS OF THE SINGAPORE POLICE FORCE AND SINGAPORE CIVIL DEFENCE FORCE HAVE MORE THAN STEPPED UP TO THE CALL TO SERVE ALONGSIDE REGULAR OFFICERS – on THE GROUND AND IN SENIOR APPOINTMENTS AT ALL LEVELS. THIS BOOK, EVERYDAY GUARDIANS, CAPTURES A BRIEF HISTORY AND THE KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF NS IN THE FIVE EVERYDAY DECADES SINCE. Duty to the country is being performed ever more effectively in the Home Team. NS officers are equipped with more effective hardware, from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to body-worn cameras, and more sophisticated skillsets in emergency medical service. But what qualifies EV GUARDIANS them best is their deep sense of responsibility and dedication to keep 50 YEARS OF NATIONAL SERVICE Singapore safe and secure. E RYDAY GUARDIANS RYDAY IN SINGAPORE’S HOME TEAM Devotion to family and community remain primary motivations. These men in blue remain warmly-supported by “the other home team” of family and loved ones, as well as bosses and colleagues, neighbours and fellow citizens. It takes a village to make an NS officer, and in return, these citizen guardians give their all back – not only at home, but also in overseas missions far away, representing their country and serving humanity. Daring is evident in all that these NS officers do, wherever the need arises. Whether in a major disaster or neighbourhood incident, the courage is unquestioned, and the commitment untiring – to combat crime, preserve order and save lives. It has been 50 years, but Singaporeans know they can rely on their NS officers even for 50 more, as the core values of the Home Team are passed on from one generation to the next.
