Displacement control is critical to the design of retaining walls, especially in urban areas, avoid any potential damage adjacent structures during excavations. In this study, model tests are first conducted investigate stress and deformation mechanisms an embedded cantilevered (ECR) wall The development top displacement active passive earth pressures acting on ECR walls excavations studied.

This paper presents the identified obstacles, needs and selected solutions for the study of the medieval castle of Franchimont, located in the province of Liège (Belgium). After taking into account the requirements from all the disciplines at work as well as the problems that would have to be tackled, the creation of a 3D point cloud was decided. This solution would be able to deal with the cha...

A deep excavation should be designed and implemented together with the precautions to prevent any loss of stability structural damage in infrastructure superstructure elements neighboring parcels risks against construction worker's health safety. This study represents an example soil that may occur due foundation excavation. The features affected by were analyzed through a geological survey mod...

The Natufians of the southern Levant (15,000-11,500 cal BP) underwent pronounced socioeconomic changes associated with the onset of sedentism and the shift from a foraging to farming lifestyle. Excavations at the 12,000-year-old Natufian cave site, Hilazon Tachtit (Israel), have revealed a grave that provides a rare opportunity to investigate the ideological shifts that must have accompanied th...
