The use of deep soil mixing (DSM) technology for excavation support is growing in use
across the world. In recent years, a number of projects in the United States have
incorporated DSM for excavation walls. As deep soil mixing becomes a more economical
alternative to traditional excavation support systems, determining which methods of
design are most appropriate will become an important issue. Currently, standardized
guidelines for design of DSM walls are not available. Case histories such as the Islais
Creek Transport/Storage Project in San Francisco California can be used to illustrate the
design process and steps that are unique to DSM excavation support. The focus of this
paper is to present a case history to illustrate a design process for DSM walls.
