To verify the proposed solutions, 1/10th scaled models were subjected to adjacent excavation-induced settlements in 1-gravity, soil-structure experiments. Material scaling strategies were verified by comparing the resultant surface soil settlements with published studies and by comparing the model building response with numerical simulation, as well as the extent of the damage with previously established thresholds.
