Braced excavations: what about the corners?

Braced excavations: what about the corners?

This Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)-funded research project (grant reference EP/X024849/1) is a collaboration between Durham University and the University of Dundee. The project is led by Professor Charles Augarde at Durham University and will run between July 2023 and June 2027. The research supported by a team of industrial partners, including: AKT II, Oasys, Skanska and Laing O'Rourke.
