Base Heave
Base Heave
(OP)
I am looking for a good book, or article, that talks about base heave in excavations. I have seen this somewhere, don't recall where and cannot locate it in any my books (2 at the moment).
I would like to go through the calculations for this. Haven't had to do this yet, but may need to in the future.
Thanks.

RE: Base Heave
I just finished analyzing a strutted excavation in soft SILT and CLAYs. I used Foundation Design and Construction by MJ Tomlinson. This book references Bjerrum and Eide.
Hope this helps.

I am looking for all potential situations. Most would be below the water table.
Thanks for the reply, I will look for the book you list.
