National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Lateral Support Systems and Underpinning. Volume I. Design and Construction.

PB257210

Publication Date	1976
Personal Author	Goldberg, D. T.; Jaworski, W. E.; Gordon, D.
Page Count	328
Abstract	This volume is a convenient reference on the design and construction of lateral support systems and underpinning which are often required in conjunction with cut-and-cover or soft ground tunneling. The design recommendations and construction methods described herein are a summary of the more detailed information presented in the companion volumes of this study. Included in this volume are discussions of displacements, lateral earth pressure, ground water, passive resistance, stability analysis, bearing capacity, soldier piles, steel sheeting, diaphragm walls, bracing, tiebacks, underpinning, grouting, and freezing. An overview compares the relative costs of the construction methods used in lateral support systems and underpinning. Other reports developed from the study are FHWA-RD-75-129, Volume 2, Design Fundamentals; FHWA-RD-75-130, Volume 3, Construction Methods; and FHWA-RD-75-131, Concepts for Improved Lateral Support Systems.
