Back analysis of deep excavation for the New Terneuzen Lock: An investigation conducted using a Python-Plaxis application and monitoring data from the field

The case study of the outer lock head of the New Terneuzen Lock is considered to investigate the behavior of the Boom Clay and to develop an automated method for improving the deformation predictions in a deep excavation format. The initiative to perform this study was the uncertainty in modeling the Boom Clay behavior during the design and the...
