Abstract:

To prevent accidents and disasters, such as the collapse of existing roads nearby, caused by deep and large foundation pit excavation and support, it is necessary to ensure the safe operation of adjacent roads during the construction of deep and large foundation pits. Taking a deep and large foundation pit project near a city trunk road in Kunming as an example, on the basis of in-depth research at the site, the three-dimensional finite element numerical simulation software-new eXperience of GeoTechnical analysis system(MIDAS GTS NX) is used for simulation and calculation, and combined with on-site monitoring, to analyse the force and deformation characteristics of the foundation pit support structure and the deformation characteristics of the adjacent existing road under the existing excavation and support scheme. The study results indicated that the forces and deformations of the supporting piles and anchor cables were within design limits after the foundation pit excavation and support were complete. The displacement near the existing road increased with the increase of pit excavation depth, and become stable after the excavation was completed. The maximum deformation of the existing road occurred at a position 2.5 times the excavation depth from the foundation pit boundary. Furthermore, the deformation did not reach the alarm threshold for road displacement caused by foundation pit excavation. Thus, the existing support scheme can ensure the safety of both the foundation pit and the adjacent road.

Key words: rounded gravel stratum, deep and large foundation pit, excavation support, existing road, deformation impact, site monitoring
