Research background Nowadays in China, the use of underground space more and more appear in all kinds of civil and public buildings due to the pressure of population and demand for land conservation, such as subway, underground shopping malls, residential basement, etc.
In the aspect of function it can satisfy the waterproof and moisture-proof requirements of civil space.

Their design relies mainly on general civil codes used for the design of stable bridges.
The above mentioned assumption was also verified by a numerical evaluation performed by SCIA Engineer software.
By reverse engineering analysis which solves inverse problem [6] it is estimated that the real weight of used mats was approximately 4 500 kg instead of 5 000 kg.
