Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of civil engineering, and particularly relates to a method for determining displacement-related soil pressure of a pile wall type foundation pit retaining structure in a sandy soil layer. BACKGROUND

[0002] Underground space as a valuable natural resource has been valued by many countries in the world. At present, the development and utilization of underground space in various cities of China has entered a new stage of higher quality, higher level and higher level, so a large number of foundation pit excavations close to existing buildings and structures have inevitably appeared. During the construction process of such engineering construction, the key factor to ensure the safety of the foundation pit is the calculation and determination of the soil pressure of the foundation pit retaining structure. For deep foundation pit engineering close to existing buildings and structures, the soil on both sides of the retaining structure generally cannot reach the limit state under the strict deformation control requirement of the retaining structure, and the size of the soil pressure actually acting on the retaining structure is related to the actual deformation size of the retaining structure. The traditional Rankine and Coulomb soil pressure theory can only calculate the size of the soil pressure under the limit state, and the calculation method of the size of the soil pressure of the foundation pit retaining structure under the non-limit state in the existing specification, such as the m value method and the equivalent beam method, has the shortcomings that the calculation parameters of different regions and different soil qualities are difficult to determine and human interference factors are large.
