...Anthony S. O'Brien, MSc, DIC, FREng, FICE; Xinjin Ho, MEng; Ringo Tan, MEng, PhD Limit state design codes such as Eurocode 7 require good estimates of displacement to be made for serviceability checks. It is known that the stiffness of overconsolidated soils and weak rocks is highly non-linear...

... behaviour of the ground has been carefully monitored. The major principal strain increments in the ground around these critical excavations, using a very light support, were about 0´2% or smaller. The stiffness for a strain range from about 0´0001% to about 1´0% was evaluated by triaxial compression (TC...
