Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method of temporarily supporting a soil mass susceptible to slide at a scarp slope bounding the soil mass includes advancing a supporting wall in an advancing direction along the scarp slope; and, in addition to the movement in the advancing direction, also moving a surface portion, in direct contact with the soil mass, of the supporting wall, so as to minimize friction between the soil mass and the supporting wall.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of temporarily supporting a soil mass susceptible to slide, the method comprising: positioning a plurality of supporting walls at least partially below a surface of a bed of a body of water, the plurality of supporting walls including one or more support surfaces supporting a soil mass along a scarp slope within the bed; maintaining relative position of each of the one or more support surfaces of the plurality of support walls relative to a…
