Retaining wall propping for a closed foundation excavation
The object of the project is designing a retaining wall propping
for a foundation excavation with simple wood elements. The water level is
located at ~1.5m below the surface so in order to execute a dry excavation a
proper drainage will need to be designed and executed.
