Deep Excavation Example

This document summarizes the design of a deep excavation using DeepXcav software. It outlines the assumed soil properties including friction angle, cohesion, elastic modulus, and total unit weight. It then describes the steps taken to estimate parameters including corrected N60 value, relative density, shear strength, and elastic properties. Finally, it discusses the limit equilibrium and non-linear analyses performed to determine support reactions and maximum wall moment.
