 Summary:
 Compared to the previous period, in the last 10 years a significant increase in the number of structures located in urban areas for which a deep foundation pit for underground floors were constructed. The protection of foundation pit and the adjacent structures is generally done by construction of reinforced concrete diaphragms or sheet pile walls and exceptionally by steel sheet piles. Since for this type of structures Republic of Serbia have no recommendations or technical norms, calculation methods are very different and with scarce domestic literature often very arbitrary. In an effort to shed some light on this issue, this paper presents a comparison of results of calculation according to the classical procedure used in Serbia and procedure recommended by Eurocode 7. To illustrate the differences, calculation of reinforced concrete diaphragm in two phase excavation in a simple geomechanical profile is presented. At the end of this paper an analysis of the results is given with certain conclusions.
