Abstract

[Objectives] Numerous engineering practices and studies on foundation pits have shown that the bending moment and horizontal displacement of the support structure on the deep excavation side of asymmetric excavation foundation pits are significantly greater than those on the shallow excavation side, which is notably different from the situation where the support structures on both sides of symmetric excavation foundation pits deform inward uniformly. When using the current standard’s support fixed point adjustment coefficient method for calculation, there are shortcomings such as a wide range of values for the fixed point adjustment coefficient λ and difficulty in quantification, as well as significant discrepancies between the calculated results and actual conditions when asymmetric excavation causes the absence of displacement fixed points on the internal supports. [Methods] The hyperbolic model of earth pressure versus horizontal displacement (p-y) of the retaining structure was adopted. It was assumed that the curvature of the p-y curves for active and passive deformation at y = 0 are the same and calculated using the m-method, i.e., K0a = K0p = K0 = mz·z. Calculation methods for active earth pressure, passive earth pressure, and net earth pressure on the retaining structure were proposed. Considering the excavation and support construction process of the foundation pit, the increment of earth pressure load on the retaining structure caused by excavation was first calculated, and then the increments of internal force and displacement were solved using the incremental method. An incremental iterative calculation procedure for the stress and deformation of the foundation pit retaining structure was established. Based on this incremental iterative calculation procedure and according to the force balance conditions and deformation compatibility at the left and right ends of the internal support retaining structure, a calculation method for the stress and deformation of internal support retaining structures under asymmetric excavation of foundation pits was proposed and numerically implemented on the MATLAB platform, overcoming the difficulty of quantifying the fixed point adjustment coefficient λ in current normative calculation methods. [Results] Calculation results of engineering cases showed that the horizontal displacement curves of the diaphragm walls on the deep and shallow excavation sides obtained by the incremental iterative calculation method were generally consistent with the distribution of the measured curves. The maximum horizontal displacement of the support structure on the deep excavation side was 23.15 mm, while the measured value was 25.83 mm, with a difference of 10.4%. The calculated maximum horizontal displacement of the support structure on the shallow excavation side was 8.75 mm, while the measured value was 8.99 mm, with a difference of only 2.67%. The maximum horizontal displacement of the support structure on the deep excavation side calculated by the traditional elastic fulcrum method was only 12.93 mm, differing from the measured value by 49.67%, thus underestimating the horizontal displacement of the deep excavation side. The maximum bending moments of the diaphragm walls on the deep and shallow excavation sides obtained by this method were 451.24 kN·m/m and 228.95 kN·m/m, respectively, differing by 49.3%. The axial force of the internal support obtained by this method was 204.56 kN/m, which lies between the internal support axial forces calculated by the traditional elastic fulcrum method for the deep and shallow excavation sides, avoiding the waste caused by designing solely based on the deep excavation side. [Conclusions] The study shows that the traditional elastic fulcrum method tends to overestimate the support stiffness and underestimate the horizontal displacement on the deep excavation side. The incremental iterative calculation method satisfies the force balance conditions and deformation compatibility at both ends of the internal supports. The horizontal displacement curves of the diaphragm walls on both sides obtained by this method are basically consistent with the distribution patterns and values of the measured engineering curves. It overcomes the difficulty of quantifying the fixed point adjustment coefficient λ in current normative calculation methods and can serve as a reference for the design and calculation of similar foundation pits.

Abstract
城市深基坑工程施工不可避免会引起周围地层变形尤其是坑外地表沉降,而过大的地表沉降会对周围建(构)筑物造成严重威胁,因此有必要开展基坑地表沉降方面的研究。针对目前在基坑地表沉降变形表征函数和表征指标方面研究的不足,利用偏态分布函数描述坑外地表沉降规律,并对沉降曲线的变形表征指标进行研究,形成一套适用于地表偏态沉降形式的变形表征指标体系,继而提出坑外地表沉降的偏态分布函数预测方法。在此基础上,依托2个工程实例,验证偏态分布函数及其指标体系和预测公式的适用性,主要得到了以下结论:利用偏态分布函数来描述坑外地表沉降曲线更为合理;结合沉降曲线包络面积、最大地表沉降及其位置等指标,提出以显性表征指标和隐性表征指标为核心的坑外地表沉降曲线表征指标体系;利用偏态分布函数展开回归分析和预测研究,发现地表沉降曲线与实测数据总体上较为接近,说明偏态分布函数在基坑地表沉降研究中的合理性和适用性。

A new calculation model of the earth pressure for retaining wallwas established based on the <i>P-y</i> curve equation of the horizontal loaded piles.The nonlinear influence of the retaining walls displacement on the earth pressure can be considered in the model. The differences of scale coefficient “m” of horizontal foundation modulus in analysis for the horizontal loaded piles and retaining wall were studied. Then, the method to determine the models main parameter—the scale coefficient “m<sub>0</sub>” of initial horizontal foundation modulus was put forward.Without experimental data, authors select the “m<sub>0</sub>” to equal one half of larger “m” in “Technical Code for BuildingPile Foundation”.The model was confirmed by experiments, and the results show that the earth pressure calculated by the model is more approach the actual valuethan calculated by the code.
