Summary of the OM framework as defined in C760 (Table 7.2 of Gaba et al. (2017))
| OM approach | Ab initio (from the start) | Ipso tempore (in the moment) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A – optimistic (Peck, 1969) | B – cautious (Ciria R185 (Nicholson et al., 1999)) | C – proactive | D – reactive (Peck, 1969) | |
| When does OM design work start? | Before wall construction | After wall construction | ||
| Starting design assumptions | Most probable parameters | Characteristic parameters | Necessary, from back-analysis of initial stages | |
| Back-analysis requirements | Necessary, with reliable case study data | Preferred | Use initial construction stages | |
| Design objectives | Optimise wall depth/strength support | Optimise wall support | Reduce wall support | Increase wall support |
| Alternative design plans | Use contingency plan | Use modification plan | Introduce modification plan | Introduce contingency plan |
