| Abstract |
There is a greater importance for underground work designed and built in the urban areas when it comes to considering the cost-effectiveness and the period of construction commensurate with an increasing trend of skyscrapers. At this stage of underground work, it's extremely necessary to choose a proper earth retaining method. However, a frequent change of design(order) during construction happens in Korea where different performers design and construct separately, so there is a great possibility for the change of design to affect the aspects of construction cost and period which normally define the outcome of construction work. Therefore, the study has suggested the rational earth retaining method by developing the Evaluation Criteria as a tool to choose a proper earth retaining method applied at the stage of selecting the earth retaining method. The data of 223 earth retaining works which were done from 1991 to 2000 in the urban areas of Korea has been used in this study. |
