This structure was instrumented in order to measure the wall s horizontal movements and the load distribution throughout the anchor fixed length. The horizontal movements were measured with an inclinometer, and the loads in the anchors were measured with strain gages, installed in three places throughout the anchor fixed length. Measurements for displacement were done right after the implementation of each stage of the building and right after the conclusion of the building, and the measurements for loads in the anchors were done during the performance test, at the moment of the locking off and, also, right after the conclusion of the building. From the data of displacement were obtained velocity and acceleration data of wall. It was found that the time elapsed on braced installation was decisive in the magnitude of the displacements. The maximum horizontal displacement of wall ranged between 0,18 and 0,66% of the final depth of excavation. The loads in the anchors strongly reduced to approximately half the anchor fixed length, followed an exponential distribution. Furthermore, it was found that there was a loss of load in the anchors over time, reaching 50% loss in one of them / O presente trabalho apresenta um estudo sobre uma estrutura de conten??o projetada para constru??o do subsolo de um edif?cio residencial multifamiliar, localizado na cidade de Natal/RN, que consiste em uma cortina de estacas escavadas ancorada por tirantes, em areia. Essa estrutura foi instrumentada a fim de se medirem os deslocamentos horizontais da cortina e a distribui??o de cargas ao longo do trecho ancorado dos tirantes. Os deslocamentos horizontais foram medidos atrav?s de inclin?metro, e as cargas nos tirantes foram obtidas com uso de extens?metros el?tricos de resist?ncia instalados em tr?s pontos ao longo do trecho ancorado. As medi??es de deslocamento foram feitas ap?s cada etapa de execu??o da cortina e ap?s a conclus?o da obra, enquanto as medi??es de carga nos tirantes foram feitas durante os ensaios de recebimento, no momento da incorpora??o e tamb?m ap?s a conclus?o da obra. A partir dos dados de deslocamento foram obtidos dados de velocidade e acelera??o da cortina. Constatou-se que o tempo gasto na instala??o do escoramento foi decisivo na magnitude dos deslocamentos. O deslocamento horizontal m?ximo final da cortina variou entre 0,18 e 0,66% da profundidade final de escava??o. As cargas nos tirantes sofrem uma redu??o muito acentuada at? aproximadamente a metade do trecho ancorado, seguindo uma distribui??o exponencial. Al?m disso, constatou-se que houve perda de carga nos tirantes ao longo do tempo, chegando a 50% de perda em um deles
