Calculation of Water-Soil Pressure of Silt Layer in the Foundation Pit Considering the Seepage Effect

Abstract:

The water-soil pressure (WSP) is an important parameter to be considered in the foundation pit design and construction. Most of available calculation methods for WSP are based on the estimation of the water pressure and the soil pressure, either separately or together, with little consideration paid on the particularity of silt layer. The differences of WSPs calculated by separately or by together to estimate the soil pressure and water pressure in the silt soil is compared. A method for calculating the WSP in silt soil considering the seepage effect is suggested.
