Comparative Studies On Safety Laws And Regulations Of Deep Excavation In China And The United States

The foundation pit is one important part in the construction projects, and is the foundation engineering of the construction projects. Because of facing the uncertainties of the many security in the foundation constru--ction process, it will directly affect the subsequent construction plans and have a significant impact on the overall project plan while a security incident occurred. China and the United States are two different markets in the construction industry, one sophisticated domestic infrastructure, one ongoing large-scale infrastructure construction and is perfected. It is very great reference values to analysis of and compare with Sino-US foundation pit safety laws and regulations similarities and differences to increase the level of Chinese safety management of construction projects and to improve the legal system of our country construction safety.Firstly, this article analysis of the construction safety production systems of the United States and China, and think that our country should be in the implementation of the law, rights and responsibilities allocated, supervision and control aspects though learning experience in the United States. And then, the paper is analytical of the safe production and management of construction projects between China and the United States legal,and consider that each has their own characteristics.But China should strengthen the role of markets in the management of production safety to motivate construction companies continue to provide the security level of production through market-based instruments. Finally, comparison of the Sino-US excavation of foundation pit in the specification of safety standards and the requirements of our country shall be prepared by an embrace, including excavation engineering of excavation safety standards set.
