Numerical Analysis of Top Ring Beam for Foundation Pit

Article Preview

Abstract:

The research and application condition of top ring beam for the foundation pit engineering is introduced. A 3D finite element model of row piles and top ring beam is calculated and several major parameters of the beams are discussed. On the basic of the FEM results, a simplified method is proposed to calculate the equivalent stiffness of the beam in a typical design profile for practical engineering.
