Abstract
Given the sudden rise of the construction market in Portugal, allied with the growth of tourism, a need to build more hotels has emerged. This project takes place in Lisbon, close to the Oriente Station (Metro and Railway) at Parque das Nações. The Moxy Hotel, with fifteen raised floors, will be built over a hill, thus rising from the ground. In order to respect the neighbor conditions, a bored piles earth retaining wall (BPW) was designed, reaching a maximum depth of approximately 22 m. The geological and geotechnical conditions of the site are pointed out, as well as the geometrical and topographic conditions. This BPW will be braced differently, depending on whether it is the temporary or the final stage. Therefore, one solution was designed, taking into account those two stages, aiming to find an economic-safe balance. At last, a numerical analysis is presented, where the deformations and efforts are predicted.
