This study mainly investigated the variation law and mechanical mechanism of surrounding earth pressure and deformation of an existing tunnel, caused by dewatering, foundation excavation, building loading, and groundwater recovery. According to different dewatering schemes, two modes were established: nonisolated dewatering unloading-loading mode and isolated dewatering unloading-loading mode. Through large-scale similar materials model test, the variation law of deformation and surrounding earth pressure of adjacent tunnel under complex unloading-loading conditions was preliminarily revealed. Based on the size of the prototype project, the test results were further verified by the numerical simulation. The mechanical mechanism of tunnel deformation in different construction stages was analyzed after the comparative study. The results show that the tunnel structure deformation, vertical and horizontal displacement, and torsion occur in the process of building construction. In the nonisolated dewatering unloading-loading mode, the decrease or rise of the groundwater level significantly reduces (maximum 27.85%) or increases (maximum 35.19%) the surrounding earth pressure of the tunnel. The decrease or increase of the horizontal total stress was much greater than that of the vertical total stress, which leads to the deformation of tunnel structure. The vertical displacement of the tunnel is generally settlement, which mainly occurs in the stage of dewatering and building loading, accounting for 83.21%–100.00% and 25.11%–40.34% of the total settlement, respectively. In the stage of foundation pit excavation and groundwater recovery, the tunnel rises. In the horizontal direction, the tunnel moves towards the foundation pit, mainly in the excavation stage, accounting for 82.77%–86.30% of the maximum value. Due to the uneven change of displacement field and stress field of soil outside the foundation pit, the tunnel torsion occurs. In the isolated dewatering unloading-Loading mode, the change of groundwater has little effect on the tunnel. In the stage of excavation and construction load, the variation law of tunnel surrounding earth pressure and deformation is similar in the two modes.

Similar material model test and numerical simulation method were used to study the reinforcement effect of isolation piles on the existing shield tunnel structure in the adjacent building construction for analyzing foundation pit excavation and new building construction approaching existing shield tunnel engineering. The numerical simulation orthogonal experiment was used to optimize four isolation pile parameters. The conclusions were obtained as follows: (1) Isolation piles could share horizontal load of the soil at the rear side of the support structure and reduce horizontal displacement of the soil. As a result, maximum horizontal displacement of the tunnel structure and differences in horizontal displacement between the tunnel structure roof and the floor after foundation pit excavation and building loading were decreased. The horizontal displacement and torsional deformation of the tunnel structure toward the direction of the foundation pit were controlled, and the increase in internal forces of the transverse tunnel structure was also restrained. (2) At the elevation above the tunnel roof, the increase in burial depth of the isolation pile top slightly affected the reinforcement effect on the tunnel structure. The increase in burial depth of the isolation pile bottom could improve the reinforcement effect. Thus, burial depth of the isolation pile bottom should be properly increased in the engineering practice. The reduction in pile spacing could improve the reinforcement effect. Accordingly, pile spacing should be properly selected in the engineering practice. With the increase of diameter of the isolation pile, the reinforcement effect of isolation piles increased obviously. (3) Pile diameter had the greatest influence on the reinforcement effect of isolation piles, followed by burial depth of the pile bottom, pile spacing, and burial depth of the pile top. Orthogonal experiments indicated the following optimal parameter values: a pile diameter of 1.2 m, a burial depth of the pile bottom of 2H, a pile spacing of 1.6 m, and a burial depth of the pile top of 0.75Z.

The Jan. 26, 2001, Ms=7.7 earthquake occurred in Gujarat region of W. India, which lies 200-400 Km away from the active plate boundary zone, between the Indian subcontinent and the Asian plate, along the India-Pakistan border and the Himalayan belt. An Ms=7.7±0.2 earthquake also occurred in the same region in 1819. A zone of co-seismic E-W surface ruptures, 30-40 Km long and 15-20 Km wide, observed near the epicentral area and seems to be associated with pre-existing reverse faults and thrust folds, which were partially reactivated during the recent earthquake. Except the reverse vertical displacement a significant right lateral displacement was also observed along these E-W surface ruptures. This Ms=7.7 seismic event has been also accompanied by a large scale flexural-slip folding, as the absence of significant co-seismic fault displacement and fault scarp shows. This type of compressional tectonic deformation is also confirmed by the focal mechanism of the earthquake and the seismo-tectonic "history" of the area. The NW-SE open cracks, also observed along the same zone, are associated with the right lateral horizontal displacement of the reactivated fault (or branch faults) and the development of local extensional stress field in the huge anticlinic hinges of the co-seismic flexural-slip folds. A large number of ground ruptures, failures and open cracks are also associated with extensive sand boils, liquefaction phenomena and lateral spreading.

Finite element software was employed to establish a model to simulate the compound soil nailing. The model simulates the process of constructing prestressed compound soil nailing. Compared the condition prestressed with no prestress, analyzed the Impact of prestress anchor on the deformation in the process of construction and the effect on axial force of soil nail. Applying prestress is able to control the horizontal displacement obviously, but has not obvious effect on vertical displacement, especially place the anchor bolt at the lower part of the slope. In the process of construction, prestress has an advance effect on the deformation of foundation pit and the axial force of soil nails near the anchor bolt.

In order to study the earth pressure and the deformation behavior of the double-row piles in foundation excavation, a large-scale physical model test was introduced to simulate deformation of double-row piles in foundation excavation based on the principle of similarity theory in this paper. Represented by the deep foundation pit engineering of Changchun, the strain and the displacement of the double-row piles and the earth pressure are calculated by the above-mentioned physical model test. Then a numerical simulation has been carried out to validate practicability of the physical model test. The results show that the strain and the displacement of the front-row piles are larger than the back-row piles. The earth pressure of the front-row piles appears to be “right convex,” correcting the specification of the earth pressure and putting forward the coefficient of β. The results in this paper may provide constructive reference for practical engineering.

Deep Foundation Pit

Advancing urbanization in China requires large-scale high-rise construction and underground transportation projects. Consequently, there is an increasing number of deep foundation pits adjacent to water bodies, and accidents occur frequently. This study uses a numerical simulation method to study the stability of the deep foundation pit near water based on the Biot three-dimensional seepage-stress coupling model, with the open-cut section on the south bank of the Jinan Yellow River Tunnel Project as the engineering field test. This indicates the following: (1) the maximum horizontal displacement of the diaphragm wall occurred in the fifth excavation stage, and a horizontal brace effectively controlled the inward horizontal displacement of the foundation pit; (2) considering the effect of seepage in the soft soil foundation, the maximum vertical displacement of the ground surface at each excavation stage occurred adjacent to the underground continuous wall. As the depth of the foundation pit increased, the vertical surface settlement decreases gradually in the direction away from the excavation face; (3) considering the seepage conditions, within each interval of excavation of the foundation pit, the horizontal displacement of the continuous underground wall and ground settlement declined; and (4) the numerical simulation and field monitoring data were in good agreement. Under the conditions of accurate model simplification and parameter selection, numerical simulations can adequately forecast conditions of the actual project.

In order to deeply understand the appropriate embedded depth of the foundation pit diaphragm wall in granite residual soil area, a physical model of the diaphragm wall with inner support for foundation excavation was constructed according to the actual project in the proportion of 1 : 30. The distribution of Earth pressure, the horizontal displacement of the wall, and the settlement behind the wall were obtained by physical experiments. The numerical simulation was then performed to authenticate the results from physical modeling. It was observed that the embedded depth of the diaphragm wall had the most obvious influence on the horizontal displacement of the wall. Moreover, the final soil settlement and its influence were significantly increased with the decrease in embedded depth. The analysis results also suggested that the control value for the embedded depth of the wall should not be less than 0.36 H (H is the excavation depth of the foundation pit).

Construction using geofabriform is a new promising technology to build fine grain tailings dam. Large-scale shaking table tests are conducted in this study to investigate the dynamic performances in terms of horizontal acceleration and displacement of the tailings dam with and without geofabriform subject to horizontal earthquakes. Test results indicate that the seismic performance of the tailings dam with geofabriform is significantly better than that of tailings dam without geofabriform. The two types of tailings dams have different failure modes under the action of earthquake. The acceleration amplification factor(Am), vertical displacement and horizontal displacement of the tailings dam with geofabriform under the same seismic acceleration input are smaller than that of the tailings dam without geofabriform, the maximum attenuation amplitude of the Am at the dam slope reaches to 81%. The horizontal displacements of the two types of dams are nonlinearly distributed in the height direction and the geotextile bags of the tailings dam have an upward displacement and are tilted upward. According to the failure mode of the tailings dam with geotextile bags, it is recommended to strengthen the drainage measures and set up anti-slide piles at the bottom of the geotextile bags body to strengthen the tailings dam.

Urban development could be evaluated by considering the transportation and construction industries. The transportation industry development causes an increase in the urban subway lines as well as underground tunnels. Concerning the construction industry, the large-scale buildings development such as commercial malls, high-rise buildings, and underground parking structures may require deep excavations at metropolitan projects. In this paper, a parametric study is carried out by considering the distance of a tunnel from a retaining wall with the staged construction. PLAXIS 2.0D ver.8.5 software is used as an analysis tool. The results show that existing tunnels are affected more than retaining walls during an excavation when the structural response is considered. By increasing the horizontal distance of tunnel center from the wall, lateral displacement and the bending moment of the tunnel would decrease 14% and the vertical displacement and bending moment of tunnel’s Crown would reduce by 15% and 12%, respectively. These interaction effects become negligible after a distance of 5 times the tunnel diameter. Besides, the existence of the tunnel in the vicinity of excavations would increase the top horizontal displacement of the retaining wall by about 13%. It is worthwhile to point out that the current paper is based on a case study on Sharif University multistory underground parking located near the subway tunnel in Tehran city stabilized by deploying a nailing and anchorage system.
