Abstract

Finite element analyses were conducted on two prominent cases of large-scale deep excavation in Central Jakarta, Indonesia. Large lateral wall deflections were observed during the final excavation stage, presumably due to clay’s time-dependent behaviour, for example, creep and consolidation (i.e., the excess pore water pressure being dissipated). Three-dimensional numerical analyses were executed using the soft-soil and soft-soil-creep models, which are advanced soil models, under the consideration of time-dependent effects. This study discovered that the time-dependent characteristics of clay in Central Jakarta contributed 23%–26% of the total wall deflection. Both soil creep and consolidation played a role in the major wall deformation in the final stage, and consolidation caused by the excavation had a stronger impact on wall deformation than did soil creep, with the impact being affected by the excavation area size, soft clay layer thickness, and presence of permeable materials (such as sand lenses).
