The Combination of Soil Nail and Steel Pipe Pile Applications in Deep Excavations within Quicksand Layers

The application of the landslide treatment piles in the deep excavation within the localized quicksand locations for a commercial residential building is presented in this paper. The supporting system for this deep excavation system consists of using both soil nailing and steel pipe piles. In areas that the quicksand was presented during the deep excavation in the urban areas, where the adjacent building structures are closed by, this practical method can serve the purposes of both supporting and treating the quicksand. It also has low cost, fast and safe construction characteristics.
