The Relationship between Retaining Wall Deformation and Earth Pressure in Deep Excavation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Earth pressure may change with retaining wall deformation in the process of deep excavating. But how The answer can be very important to the safety of retaining system. Using monitoring data of north anchor foundation pit of Runyang suspension bridge, this paper studied retaining structure and soil interaction. Find the relationship between retaining wall deformation and earth pressure in deep excavation. In this case, earth pressure increased with wall deformation upward the depth of 18m and decreased with wall deformation down below. A regression equation about foundation pit depth and ratio of earth pressure and wall deformation was established. Then give a simplified earth pressure calculation method considering retaining wall deformation.
