Soil Creep Effect on Time-Dependent Deformation of Deep Braced Excavation by Panpan Guo, Gang Lei, Lina Luo, Xiaonan Gong, Yixian Wang, Baojian Li, Xunjian Hu, Haibo Hu

“…The plain-strain numerical simulation method can be conveniently used for parametric analysis, but it is unable to capture the spatial characteristics of soil creep effect on lateral wall deflections and ground movements. The additional lateral wall deflections and ground movements that are generated due to the soil creep effect can account for as large as 30% of the total displacements, which highlights the importance of considering the effect of soil creep in deep braced excavations through soft clays. …”
