Client: MR. ANIS TAGER
TAGER-DAMMOUS Building consists of a residential building constructed within a confined area surrounded by adjacent structures and roads. The excavation of this building required the installation of an efficient shoring system with a limited budget. The soil is a calcareous shale (marl) formation with some soft areas. I.G.M. proposed a 15cm shotcrete wall (with vertical micropiles at selected locations). The excavation was only 5 meter deep except at the west side where an existing 3m wall had to be retained also (total depth =8m). Active anchors and passive nails in the horizontal direction were installed to maintain equilibrium in the shoring system. Anchors were tensioned against steel waler beams
