Abstract
The characteristics of wall deflections and surface ground settlements at six deep multi-strutted excavations in Shanghai soft soils were studied and compared with those of similar case histories reported worldwide, particularly in Taipei and Singapore. The measured wall deflections at the six metro stations of the Pearl II Circle Line show a typical bulging profile (or deep-seated shape) at the end of the excavation. The ratio between the measured maximum wall deflection and the depth of the excavation (δ hm /H) in Shanghai was <0.007, which was similar to the ratio measured in Taipei, but it was substantially smaller than the Peck bounding limit of 0.01. At each station, the measured maximum displacement was <0.45% of the final excavation depth. Because of the large aspect ratios of the underground excavations, no significant three-dimensional effects or corner effects were observed. The measured maximum settlements of the six metro excavations fell within zone I of the Peck classical normalized settlement-distance chart. These small measured settlements were consistent with the small measured wall deflections. The observed relatively small maximum wall deflections can likely be attributed to the use of prestressed struts, the constant adjustment of the stresses to about 0.7 times the total vertical stress during the excavation, and the short horizontal span of the excavation.Key words: multi-strutted excavations, soft clay, Shanghai, metro stations, horizontal deflection, settlement.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
