Abstract
The construction of underground structures or building works is very challenging for engineers, both in the field of design and on-site execution, as they must address various site problems occurred during the design phase of the region. As the soil strata differs from region to region the problem also differs, and hence separate detail design need to be carried out followed by Geotechnical Investigation to find out the solutions and innovations in the Engineering design. This project synopsis report aims to understand the challenging aspects and the various in situ issues during the construction phase for the design. Based on the geotechnical investigation data and results the GTI (Geotechnical Investigations Report) and the GRF (Geo-factual reports) are to be prepared which shows the approximate profile of the soil strata with respect to depth generally called as lithological profile, design of secant pile is carried out taking into all the factors and parameters as obtained in the GFRGIR. In this study to design the retaining wall as a secant pile wall method, we have examined the soil profile, rock strata, and their properties, which are dynamically changes with increasing depth. Additionally, we have explored the effects of pore water pressure on the side face of the soil and, most importantly, the uplift pressure acting upon the base slab of the structure. The study also includes an analysis of earth retaining techniques, such as secant pile construction and shot Crete concrete.
