Abstract:With the increasing density of buildings in cities, the exposed installation of water supply and drainage pipelines within densely urban building clusters has become increasingly common. Consequently, there is a growing demand for design and construction schemes. A finite element simulation is conducted to the water supply and drainage pipelines crossing the existing bridge piers, which analyzes the impact of pipe trench excavation on the horizontal and vertical displacements of these bridge piers. It is found that when the pipe trench is close to the bridge pier, the deformation of the bridge pier caused by the excavation of the pipe trench is relatively large. To ensure the safe operation of bridge piers, the safety distance should be fully ensured between the pipe trenches and the existing bridge piers. At the same time, when adjacent pipelines are constructed simultaneously, the single-pipe trench excavation form should be adopted as much as possible to avoid excessive trench excavation width. Through analysis and discussion, it is expected to provide certain references for the design and construction of similar projects.
