| Abstract |
The objective of this study was to validate the use of circular cross-section metallic or high density polyethylene profiles for propping during short-duration excavation work. This type of propping is easier and quicker to install than rigid panels and are better suited to reduced-diameter boring. Work involved measurements in the laboratory and at construction sites, together with mathematical simulations on the mechanical behaviour of pipes. It was concluded that this type of shoring is well suited provided one selects pipes having a minimum specified rigidity. |
