This paper presents the most relevant design and execution aspects of a peripheral retaining structure for the construction of “Parking Saint Nicolas”, an underground parking lot located in Cannes, France. The retaining wall of the construction of the four underground floors was executed through soil-cement panels by the application of deep soil mixing technology, particularly the Cutter Soil Mixing (CSM) technology

This paper presents the most relevant design and execution aspects of a retaining wall for the construction of the underground floors of “Villa Paradisio" residential building, at Cannes, France. The main aspects of the execution process, the numerical modelling and the quality control of the work are presented in this paper.

This paper describes the general design and execution aspects of a peripheral retaining wall to the construction of the underground floors of “Hotel Montaigne” building, located in Cannes, France. Considering the geological and geotechnical constraints, the presence of high water table and the surrounding conditions near existing buildings, it was performed a retaining wall of soil-cement panels executed using the deep soil mixing technology, in particular the Cutter Soil Mixing (CSM) technology.

This paper describes the most relevant design and execution aspects of foundation soil treatment to the construction of an industrial building at Fréjus, France. The time constraints related to the execution period of the work associated with the geological and geotechnical conditions, led to the adoption of a non-conventional solution of foundation soil treatment.

This paper describes the application of CSM to the construction of a temporary retaining wall for an urban excavation at the riverside of Lagos, Portugal. The paper describes the general aspects of the execution process and the main results of the instrumentation and monitoring work, which confirm the excellent performance of the adopted solution.
