Deep Foundation Pit

Advancing urbanization in China requires large-scale high-rise construction and underground transportation projects. Consequently, there is an increasing number of deep foundation pits adjacent to water bodies, and accidents occur frequently. This study uses a numerical simulation method to study the stability of the deep foundation pit near water based on the Biot three-dimensional seepage-stress coupling model, with the open-cut section on the south bank of the Jinan Yellow River Tunnel Project as the engineering field test. This indicates the following: (1) the maximum horizontal displacement of the diaphragm wall occurred in the fifth excavation stage, and a horizontal brace effectively controlled the inward horizontal displacement of the foundation pit; (2) considering the effect of seepage in the soft soil foundation, the maximum vertical displacement of the ground surface at each excavation stage occurred adjacent to the underground continuous wall. As the depth of the foundation pit increased, the vertical surface settlement decreases gradually in the direction away from the excavation face; (3) considering the seepage conditions, within each interval of excavation of the foundation pit, the horizontal displacement of the continuous underground wall and ground settlement declined; and (4) the numerical simulation and field monitoring data were in good agreement. Under the conditions of accurate model simplification and parameter selection, numerical simulations can adequately forecast conditions of the actual project.

This study presents a comparative analysis of the deformation control effect of the hydraulic servo steel struts and ordinary steel struts of a foundation pit based on the measured axial force of the steel struts, lateral wall deflection, and ground surface settlement due to pit excavation. The results indicate that ordinary steel struts installed via axial preloading exhibit a disadvantageous axial force loss with a maximum value equal to 86.7% of the axial preloading force. When compared with ordinary steel struts, the hydraulic servo steel strut exhibits a superior supporting effect. The hydraulic servo steel strut adjusts the axial force in real time based on the deformation of the retaining structure and the axial force of the struts. Thus, the ratio of maximum lateral deflection to the excavation depth of a deep foundation pit in soft soil is less than 0.3%. Concrete struts undergo unsupported exposure during the excavation process, leading to sharply increasing deformation of the retaining structure. Therefore, regarding a foundation pit with strict requirements for deformation control, the use of hydraulic servo steel struts rather than concrete struts is recommended.

The Stability

Aiming at a deep foundation pit in soil-rock composition with weak intercalated layers, in this paper, using the limit-balance method and finite element method to analyze the stability and deformation. The safety factor of foundation pit under the absence of retaining is much less than 1 through the limit-balance method, but through some retaining measures can guarantee its safety. According to the excavation of the foundation pit in special geological conditions, it takes pile-anchor retaining structure in upper and soil nailing in the lower part. Using the finite element to carry out dynamic simulation for the whole project, the results show that: this form of retaining can be very good to ensure the excavation of the foundation pit in the geological conditions, and it may be helpful for similar projects

Support Engineering

A deep foundation pit project in Changsha City covers an area of about 63000m2, the largest excavation depth of the pit is 16.2 m, so it belongs to the deep and large foundation supporting engineering. By comprehensive analysis of the proposed construction site environment conditions and engineering geological conditions the different combined supporting schemes are adopted in different domains separately. In this paper the design schemes of the combined supporting technology are introduced. The problems encountered in the excavation construction process and the corresponding measures being taken are analyzed in detail. The results show that the design scheme is reasonable. Both horizontal displacement and settlement can meet specification and design requirements. At the same time the reasonable construction organization makes the support engineering be finished within the scheduled term, which saves the precious time for the following construction procedure. Furthermore it provides guidance for similar projects.
