EXCAVATIONS IN BETWEEN TALL BUILDING
Virtualizes an abandoned Excavations for foundation pit close to 30 meters deep , by 40m x 40m (L x B), having tall Buildings located at three straight edges of these excavated pits,
These pits are not supported horizontally with any shoring or pile sheaths, and failure due to shear effects can occur as a result of lateral and passive pressure exerted from the adjust buildings.
A peculiar location in Doha has such a situation, each morning I go to work I feel so sorry for what will happen if the trench dug for construction is not utilized immediately,
Such deep excavation for these foundation trench is suppose to be inclined at a very safe angle of repose since construction is not starting immediately or provide supports for these pits until construction starts.
it is surprizing 30m deep excavation without care of safety measures
Yes I too wonder and Normally cave-in is expected, however the buildings may be having deep piles.
Safety in Qatar?? How amusing........
