Abstract: Nowadays in the urban areas people are going deeper into the ground because of insufficient space in urban areas. More space required for parking, basements, library, housing utilities etc. Deep excavation is carried out close to the existing building it may be single story building or multi story building it causes larger settlement, more displacements and bending moment near the deep excavation and also mainly it causes the design fail of foundation area of existing building when the deep excavation carried out close to the existing building .These settlements or displacements are controlled by providing braced wall to the deep excavation. In this analysis 2D finite element of G+10 story modeling considered for the analysis and the response of existing building when the deep excavation carried out at different distances and at different depths are tabulated and compared in the present work.
Keywords: Deep excavation, displacements, Finite element analysis, settlements.
