Abstract:With the urban development of Shanghai, the large-scale construction of municipal wastewater treatment projects provides the support for the urban wastewater treatment of Shanghai. In the retaining design and monitoring of foundation pits in the wastewater treatment projects, the typical characteristics of large area excavation of foundation pit without support will cause the influence and even harm to the adjacent surroundings during the larger deformation of retaining body. It is necessary to summarize the design and monitor in the construction of large-area and no-support deep foundation pit projects, which can be referred for the follow-up similar projects.
