Insights into the behaviour of geotechnical structures through field observations

The talk will present insights gained into the behaviour of a variety of geotechnical structures with reference to a number of case studies. These will be selected from:

• measurement and analysis of temporary prop loads during the construction of the Canary Wharf and Canada Water underground stations on London’s Jubilee Line Extension
• installation effects and post construction behaviour of embedded bored pile retaining walls in Weald and Atherfield Clays on the Channel Tunnel Rail Link at Ashford, Kent, and
• pile-stabilised railway embankments in London and Kent.
