So far, there have been a large number of diaphragm walls in the Yangtze River Delta as engineering examples of deep foundation pit maintenance structures in subway stations, but there is a lack of systematic research and summary on the deformation characteristics of ground connecting walls. This study aimed to clarify the deformation law of the diaphragm wall during the excavation of a deep foundation pit in a soft soil region. Based on the monitoring data of the diaphragm wall of the deep foundation pit of the Hangzhou metro station, the monitoring data of the deep foundation pits of 15 subway stations in Shanghai and Ningbo cities around Hangzhou were considered. Grouping and classification methods were used to analyze the similarities and differences in the deformation characteristics of the diaphragm wall in the three regions. The results indicate the following: the maximum lateral deformation of the diaphragm wall in Hangzhou increases linearly with the relative depth of the maximum lateral deformation. The maximum lateral deformation of the foundation pit in Hangzhou is 0.072% H∼0.459% H, with a mean of 0.173% H. The wall deformation in Hangzhou varies significantly with the depth of the foundation pit, but the influence of the depth of the foundation pit on the wall deformation is considerably less than that in Shanghai and Ningbo. The corresponding position of the maximum lateral deformation in the excavation depth increases linearly with the excavation depth of the foundation pit, and the corresponding position of the lateral deformation of the diaphragm wall in Shanghai is more affected by the excavation depth of the foundation pit. The lateral deformation of the diaphragm wall increases rapidly in the range of 0 H–0.5 H, and the maximum lateral deformation occurs at 0.5 H–1.1 H.

This paper theoretically analyzed the deformation law of the underlying tunnel caused by dewatering and excavation of deep foundation pit in the phreatic aquifer area, which is based on the Mindlin solution and the double-sided elastic foundation beam theory, and used the finite difference method and the fluid-solid coupling principle to conduct three-dimensional numerical simulation of dewatering and excavation of deep foundation pit with fluid-solid coupling by using FLAC3D5.00. This research shows that the layered and segmented excavation method from the middle to the end by dewatering the skip layer has a better effect on optimizing the deformation of the underlying tunnel through the simulation of three excavation methods and two dewatering schemes crossing each other, which is about 2.5% less than the layer-by-layer dewatering scheme. In addition, the deformation law of the simulated value is the same as the theoretical value, and the simulated value is slightly larger than the theoretical value. Underlying tunnel only just exists vertical deformation at the direct center of the foundation pit, and the maximum deformation is about 3.054 mm under the dewatering well of the jumping layer and W3. With the dewatering of jumping layer and the third excavation mode (W3), underlying tunnel only just exists lateral displacement at the position where is the retaining structure, and the maximum displacement is 1.606 mm.

Taking deep excavation engineering in North Region of Senlin Park Station of Beijing Olympic Subway branch as engineering background, deformation law of enclosure structure of deep excavation are studied by the in-situ monitoring means .It shows that the maximum horizontal displacement of retaining pile is closely related with excavation depth and time. When the deep foundation pit is excavated to a certain depth, and steel brace hasn’t been erected, horizontal displacement of the pile tops is maximum. The location of the maximum horizontal displacement shifts down with foundation pit excavation and steel brace erection. With steel brace application, steel axis force decrease, so steel brace can effectively control horizontal displacements of retaining pile and internal force of steel in the pile. In addition, temperature has a certain effect to axis force of steel brace.

Based on a typical projects, the horizontal displacement in depth, horizontal displacement and vertical subsidence of pile top, and settlements of surrounding buildings are monitored with the process on digging of deep foundation pit. The study on digging process of foundation pit is analyzed by using finite element software. Using mapped meshing method, from mixing the pile near the semi-circular area (radius = 50m), the meshing appropriate encryption in order to improve the accuracy of the external semi-circular area (radius = 65m) mesh is less appropriate sparse.Layer by layer to kill the layers of the soil unit and activate the soil nails (spring element), the simulated excavation and synchronization of soil nails construction.Verify the arc form of failure surface in side of deep foundation pit in soft soil area. Which is valuable for reference to similar structure engineering of 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.

This study investigates a large deep foundation pit of a hydraulic structure rehabilitation program across the Indus river, in the Punjab province of Pakistan. The total area of the construction site was 195,040 m2. Two methods, constant head permeability test and Kozeny–Carman equation, were used to determine the hydraulic conductivity of riverbed strata, and numerical simulations using the three-dimensional finite-difference method were carried out. The simulations first used hydraulic conductivity parameters obtained by laboratory tests, which were revised during model calibration. Subsequently, the calibrated model was simulated by different aquifer hydraulic conductivity values to analyze its impact on the dewatering system. The hydraulic barrier function of an underground diaphragm wall was evaluated at five different depths: 0, 3, 6, 9, and 18 m below the riverbed level. The model results indicated that the aquifer drawdown decreases with the increase in depth of the underground diaphragm wall. An optimal design depth for the design of the dewatering system may be attained when it increases to 9 m below the riverbed level.
