TLDR
The analysis of the problem of braced excavations is complicated by the large number of variables involved and by the complex interaction and behavior of the soil and the supporting materials as mentioned in this paper.

Stresses in nearly incompressible materials by finite elements with application to the calculation of excess pore pressures

TL;DR: In this paper, a displacement method was used to assess the stress accuracy at very low compressibilities. But the authors found that the mean stress becomes grossly in error at the center and edges of each element as the compressibility is reduced whereas the deviatoric stress components do not.

Neural-network-based regression model of ground surface settlement induced by deep excavation

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors presented an artificial-neural-network-based (ANN-based) regression approach to the prediction of ground surface settlement induced by deep excavation.

Parametric study of a braced cut by finite element method

TL;DR: In this paper, a typical instrumented test section for 13.6m deep braced cut is described and a comprehensive study on some parameters involved in the braced excavation was made.

Undrained Stress Distribution by Numerical Methods

TL;DR: In this paper, a revised procedure is described in which the pore pressure is treated as another unknown, and the form of the procedure used for finite elements, and that used for a lumped parameter model equivalent to a finite difference method.

Finite-element method for problems in soil mechanics

TL;DR: In this paper, the finite element method is applied to some problems in soil mechanics, defined either as plane-strain or axially symmetric, and results agreed well with closed-form solutions.

Numerical analysis of flexible retaining structures

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method for analyzing flexible structured structures by considering them as beam-columns on non-linear foundations on a non-linear soil field.
