10.3 Building Protection by Utilizing Auxiliary Methods

The goal of auxiliary methods in excavations is to decrease the wall deformation or ground settlement.In principle，any method that helps decrease the deformation or settlement can be adopted.To utilize auxiliary methods，one has to go through a careful evaluation of the effects.Otherwise，in addition to increasing construction cost，they may even have no time for property protection.What's more，the incautious implementation of auxiliary methods may be inimical to adjacent properties.The evaluation of auxiliary methods can be done by numerical simulation，mechanism exploration，or case studies.Readers interested in the subject can refer to the related literature.
