With the major infrastructure projects in Doha executed over the last 5 years, there has been many lessons learnt from analysis, design, constructing, and monitoring deep excavation in Doha.  This presentation looks at the selection of geotechnical parameters suitable for design, optimised design solutions, and expected ground movements associated with excavations.
