SANHUEZA, C  e  OTEO, C. Application of two design procedures and analysis of displacements of continuous diaphragm walls in the Madrid metro. Revista de la Construcción [online]. 2011, vol.10, n.3, pp. 99-109. ISSN 0718-915X.  doi: 10.4067/S0718-915X2011000300010.

This article presents the results from two design procedures performed on continuous diaphragm walls of the Madrid Metro. The first case is based on a soil reacting on a Winkler space and was implemented in RIDO; the second case is based on the Finite Element method and was implemented on PLAXIS. Site data was  collected at the Metronorte line during  the 2003-2007 Metro Extension Project in  Madrid, and the results were compared to  numerical predictions. This study validated  the soil parameters proposed by R. Ortiz and C. Oteo (2003).
