Abstract:With the urban development, the urban land space is becoming increasingly tight. The excavation and support of foundation pit are limited by spatial topography, which will significantly affect the surrounding structures. To effectively reduce the impact of foundation pit excavation on the adjacent environment, combined with the engineering conditions, the existing retaining wall structure is utilized to conduct a straddle-type reinforcement and reconstruction, and a SMW (soil mixed wall) pile support is newly constructed behind the wall as the enclosing structure. A finite element model of Plaxis is established, and the HSS (hardening soil with small strain stiffness) model is adopted to perform numerical simulations of the surrounding environmental displacement caused by the foundation pit excavation. The results indicate that the proposed method is feasible, which can reduce the volume of demolition required for the existing structure, and the surrounding environmental displacement caused by the construction is within the allowable range. Compared with conventional soil constitutive models, the numerical simulation results of foundation pit deformation based on the HSS model are relatively safe and closer to the monitored values, which has certain engineering significance.
