FEM Analysis of the Unsteady Seepage during Excavation

Article Preview

Abstract:

The seepage is the main reason of many excavation accidents. Currently, most of the excavation designs ignore the seepage function or pay little attention on it. This paper focuses on the excavation’s stress and deformation influenced by the unsteady seepage, leading into the Van Genuchten seepage model and the Hardening-Soil constitutive model. And compare and analyze the different influences of flow field, stress field, displacement field and force caused by the steady and unsteady seepage
