Partial supporting piles removal from deep foundation pit may lead to large-scale foundation pit collapse, resulting in severe consequences. Various studies have investigated the underpinning technology of cutting abutment piles by combining field monitoring and numerical simulation, but there are few studies on cutting supporting piles of foundation pit by the shallow excavation method. Taking an actual deep and large foundation pit as an example, the finite element method (FEM) was adopted to study the surface settlement and the changing trend of the force and displacement of the supporting pile caused by cutting piles during the shallow excavation of double tunnels. The FEM results were verified with the field monitoring data. The simulation results show that the surface settlement around the foundation pit mainly occurs at the pile cutting stage under different excavation sequences (0D, 1D, 2D), and the main distribution area is the one-fold diameter area outside the double tunnel. After the supporting piles are partially cut, the bending moment and displacement of the lower part of the broken piles differ significantly due to different excavation sequences, but the bending moment and displacement of the upper part of the broken piles are basically similar. In the process of removing the supporting piles, the Earth pressure behind the piles is redistributed, and the load is mainly transferred to the adjacent supporting piles outside the tunnel within the radius of one time of the tunnel diameter. However, the load is not evenly transferred to the adjacent supporting piles. Some recommendations for the reinforcement scheme of the supporting structure during cutting supporting piles in deep foundation pit are also proposed. The research results can provide theoretical basis and practical guidance for the construction of similar projects in the future.

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.

Taking a super large deep foundation pit project as an example, the horizontal displacement of crown beam and driveway, surface settlement, axial force of anchor cable, and underground water level in the construction process of the foundation pit are dynamically monitored and analyzed. The excavation deformation rule of the deep foundation pit and the influence of excavation on surrounding buildings are analyzed. The results show that, with the excavation of the foundation pit, the crown beam and driveway of the foundation pit incline towards the direction of the pit and eventually tend to be stable. The variation of axial force of the prestressed anchor cable in the first layer of the foundation pit is basically consistent with the variation of horizontal displacement time history. The variation trend of the groundwater level at each side of the foundation pit is different but tends to be stable in a short time. In the whole monitoring period, the cumulative settlement value of each area of the foundation pit is within the controllable range, but the surface settlement of the north side of the foundation pit and a surrounding building has not reached stability, so it is suggested to extend the monitoring time of settlement in the relevant area.

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.

Abstract At present, in deep foundation pit engineering, on the one hand, practice is ahead of theory, and on the other hand, theory can not correctly reflect the actual construction process and environmental effects. In order to further study the distribution and change law of earth pressure and internal force of pile body in deep foundation pit pile-anchor supporting system, field monitoring test of earth pressure and pile body reinforcement stress was carried out. The monitoring results show that before excavation, the distribution of earth pressure has a great relationship with the layering of the soil, and it is distributed in sections along the depth. Compared with the theoretical static earth pressure, the measured data of the upper depth is relatively small; after excavation, the overall earth pressure is distributed along the depth in a “z” shape under the non-limiting state. As the excavation progresses, the magnitude of the reduction of the earth pressure varies from place to place, and the magnitude of the decrease of the soil with better properties is not large; after the excavation, the stress and earth pressure of the pile reinforcement correspond to each other, and the distribution is also nonlinear. The existence of anchor tension has an obvious effect on improving the internal force of the pile. The selected earth pressure calculation methods have some discrepancies in the calculation of the earth pressure value of the project, and they need to be further improved. The research in this paper can provide reference and reference for the calculation of earth pressure and support design of pile-anchor supported foundation pit.

Urban underground pipelines undertake many tasks closely related to people’s daily life and production, such as water supply, drainage, gas supply, and power supply. Metro projects are usually located in areas with dense underground pipelines; therefore, in the construction process of deep-foundation metro pit, some measures should be taken to protect the safety of underground pipelines. Under the engineering background of the Jiangbei foundation pit of the Wuhan Yangtze River Tunnel, the influence of soil disturbance caused by deep-foundation pit excavation is first simulated using the ABAQUS software on the displacement of underground pipelines and the dangerous area of underground pipelines is analyzed. Second, the most disadvantageous combination is analyzed for the risk factors of pipelines under the influences of multiple risk factors. Finally, a systematic additional partial reinforcement scheme (APRS) is proposed from the aspects of safety and economy to protect the safety of underground pipelines in the dangerous areas with greater risk. The results of measurement prove that the APRS is effective for pipeline protection and can provide reference for similar problems.

Based on a deep foundation pit engineering of Tangshan, considering the interaction of pile-anchor-soil, the finite difference software FLAC3D is adopted in this paper to simulate and analyze the effect of dip angle of anchor and the embedded depth of pile on the horizontal displacement and the variation laws of earth pressure, horizontal displacement of pile with the process of excavation. The results show that the maximum value of horizontal displacement and positive moment of pile appear in 0.85H (H stands for the depth of excavation) and the negative moment appears in 1.3H after the excavation; the maximum value of active and passive earth pressure appear in 1.3H rather than the bottom in the range of pile length; the requirements of deformation control and overall stability of foundation pit can be satisfied with 0.5H which as the embedded depth of the pile, and the dip angle of anchor is appropriate when it ranges from 5°to 25°but less than 30°.

The FLAC3D was used to the fluid-solid coupling numerical simulation of considering the initial state of unsaturated to soil for the deep foundation pit engineering under different rainfall infiltration conditions. By comparing the bending moment, the shearing stress and internal forces of support under the infiltration conditions between non-rainfall and rainfall, the paper focus on the stability of deep foundation pit. Research on the stability of deep excavation under rainfall conditions was a useful attempt. From the detail study of the stability of a foundation pit of Qinhuangdao under rainfall infiltration conditions, the paper have drawn some useful conclusion on the design of building foundation pit, which can be the basis of excavation design and construction under rainfall conditions.
