Predicted safety & excavation progress algorithms for autonomous excavation
Excavation is the process of moving earth and is considered to be one of the primary projects in the construction industry. The adoption of various cutting-edge technologies for full automation can be a solution to the various ongoing issues in construction equipment used for excavation such as …

Excavation in Toronto
This thesis is about silence; about emptiness; about absence. "Should we be surprised by the fact that architectural form can be found in the plan of the city? Yes, if one considers the fact that there is no architectural intervention in the design of the plan. No, if one considers architecture as …

Methods for Control in Robotic Excavation
Robotic excavation has been proposed as a means to meet the ever growing demand for skilled excavator operators in the construction, infrastructure, mining and agriculture industries. The development of fully autonomous excavation systems is hindered by inadequate methods to deal with the …

Landscape ruin: groundmass excavation at Higgovale Quarry
… are ruins? The ideas I had explored of excavation, and especially the image of the 'grid' of excavation as an imposition over the landscape, led me to the Higgovale Quarry site.

Fracture mechanics and its application in rock excavation
The two chevron notched specimen geometries for rock Mode I fracture toughness measurement, CB and SR, recommended by the ISRM have several disadvantages, such as very low loads required to initiate failure, complicated loading fixtures, difficult to be developed for rock mixed mode fracture …

Gaze tracking : seeking critical information for autonomous excavation
Automating excavation in mining and construction applications is crucial today as the supply of skilled operators cannot match market demand. To efficiently make control decisions for autonomous excavators without having to take in all visual inputs from a typical operator's field of view, gaze …

Methodology for updating numerical predictions of excavation performance
… used in geotechnical analyses for the design of excavation support systems. However, monitoring data provides additional information on the performance of these support systems during construction. This thesis proposes a rational framework for updating constitutive model input parameters in …

Foundation response to ground movements induced by tunnel excavation
… in detail the response of foundations to tunnel excavation. A numerical program known as PRAFT was developed to model incrementally the effects of an advancing tunnel excavation on single piles, pile groups and piled rafts. Greenfield displacements are critical input parameters in a two-stage …

A solution to the braced excavation collapse in Singapore
At about 3:30pm on April 20, 2004, a 30m deep excavation adjacent to Nicoll Highway in Singapore collapsed, resulting in four casualties and a delay of part of a US$4.14 billion subway project. This thesis examines the flaws in the original design of the bracing system, which have been cited as …

Effect of deep excavation on an adjacent pile foundation
… loaded pile located close to a 30m deep braced excavation in Marine Clay corresponding to site conditions of the Kallang formation in Singapore. Parametric analyses were carried out, using non linear three-dimensional finite element methods (with Plaxis Foundation 3-D), comparing different pile …

ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF EXCAVATION SUPPORT SYSTEM IN SOFT CLAY
Conventional design procedures for deep excavations in soft clay in Singapore are not always adequate. Consequently, difficulties such as large strut loads and excessive ground movements are often encountered. Therefore, a method was proposed for the design of excavation support system in soft …

Performance monitoring and numerical modelling of a deep circular excavation
For the design of deep excavations, codes and standards advise to base estimates of wall deflections and ground movements on empirical data. Due to the limited number of case studies on circular excavations it is nearly impossible to find comparable projects under similar conditions. Therefore …
