Assignment-02: BRACED CUT y of a braced cut design in geotechnical engineering [1] Explain the neces 2] Why the conventional earth pressure theories do not prevail in the braced cut design [3] A renowned group of companies is planning to construct a 22-story commercial building at Agrabad, Chattogram. The architectural and structural design has finished recently. The structural a total of two basements, where the deeper depth is 7.0m below the current ground drawing depi level. The narrow side of the proposed structure is 10.2m, and the perpendicular side is about 18.0m. To prevent the failure of side soils, itis necessary to construct a temporary bracing system of the entire area. Unfortunately, the structural designer did not provide a detailed section of the bracing system. Under the above circumstances. design an appropriate bracing system. Input Data.

Therefore, the above borehole log is representative of the entire site. Based on the in-situ geotechnical parameters, determine the size of the drilled shaft. Also, determine the load-carrying capacity for a settlement of 12.0mm. Input Data. SI Load (KN) SI Load (KN) 3420 26 4071.6 3304.7 27 41259 Page 2 of 2
