Deep Excavations: A Practical Manual

by Malcolm Puller

This text assembles both the practical rules and details for the economical and efficient execution of deep excavations. Although formal codes of practice may beginn life with the same intention it appears that they might also constrain innovation and ingenuity behind a set of rules and regulations which, as time passes, become more accepted as the only basis of foundation engineering design. The collected data and experience present examples of design and solutions to construction problems which dispel the conception of design by regulation.
