Impact Analysis of Foundation Pit Excavation on the Deformation of Nearby Subway Tunnel

Article Preview

Abstract:

Bracing of foundation pit design proposal based on the excavation near a block of Suzhou Rail Transit Line 1 is used to build a subway tunnel-pit-envelope three-dimensional computational model, which is analyzed by FLAC3D, software for numerical simulation analysis, to evaluate the impact of the foundation pit excavation on the deformation of the subway tunnel. The calculated results show that: when the pit is excavated to the bottom, the deformation of the tunnel achieves the maximum value, 0.6mm of y direction and 6.54mm of z direction. The pipelines with shallow depth are subject to the deformation caused by the soil subsidence back of the envelope, whose maximum value has reached 7.6mm beyond the control standards. In terms of the deformation of the subway tunnel structure, the deformation can meet the control requirements, and have a certain margin of safety.
