... is determined, among other things, by the need to control settlements at the surface, often estimated during early design stages using empirical expressions. These have been shown to have limited accuracy, failing to account appropriately for the effect of shaft diameter on the ground movements associated...

The collected data are used as a reference to show the validity and accuracy of the developed 3D model. Two constitutive models...
