Abstract
The uncertainty of the ground, in which a deep excavation to be conducted, is always inherent. The risk control of the excavation is therefore necessary. Based on the principle features of a deep excavation, a general process of risk control is presented in terms of design and construction, with the application of the observational method. To avoid the conflicts of the involved groups’ interests, a close co-operation between the groups in a well planned procedure is vital to the success of the risk control, especially to the case with rapid deterioration stages included.
