Abstract
A database has been established of the pattern of ground and wall movements measured at sites where bored pile and diaphragm retaining walls were being used for the construction of retained cuttings, cut and cover tunnels and deep basements. The database results are of value both in establishing the most probable movement and acceptable limits when using the Observational Method to control construction, and also in assessing the effects of construction on neighbouring buildings and buried services.
