Study on Effects of Ground Deformation Based on Foundation Pit Excavation

Abstract:

With the continuous development of urban underground space, the environmental effects of foundation pit excavation have been paid extensive close attention. Unfortunately, there are few researches in mucky soil and peaty soil. Adopted the software of FLAC-3D, the ground deformation due to the foundation pit excavation is simulated. Considering the characteristic of the soil, the Modified Cam-clay model and Mohr-coulomb model are used during the simulation. Meanwhile, the structure units are used to simulate foundation pit structure. The results of the field measurement and numerical simulation suggest that the influenced range soil is about 2.7 times of the excavation depth. Furthermore, the Modified Cam-clay model can obtain a better result to simulate the mucky soil and peaty soil in Kunming. The results can be referred to design and construct of foundation pits.
