Top/down or up/down construction methods are another method for constructing deep excavations. In this case the basement floors are constructed as the excavation progresses. The top/down method has been used for deep excavation projects where tieback installation was not feasible and soil movements had to be minimized.
What's the difference of excavation top down and bottom-up?
Usually bottom-up method is used when there is sufficient area to divert any obstructions from the construction area. … The “top-down” method allows excavation to continue in dense areas while allowing minimal building acquisition, traffic control or demolition during the duration of construction.
Why would you use top down construction?
The main advantage of the top-down approach is that it allows the superstructure to be constructed at the same time as the substructure. Sufficient vertical load capacity of the wall and the internal column supports to support the increasing superstructure load throughout the construction sequence must be ensured.
