Hello again!

I'm already rearching for current standards to assess the stability of a shear wall of an excavation pit acording to the us-american, the british and the australian standard.

Thank's for your support ... and maybe next time I'm the one who can offer help.

I don't think you need standards. what you have to do is assess the water movement near the pit. See if you will have a blow out. Find your old hydraulics text book. The only standard I know off for excavations and shoring is over 20 ft. deep neds a P.E. to design the system. If this is a repost, see my last post.
