Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of foundation pit engineering technology in the construction industry, and relates to a method for calculating active earth pressure on finite-width soil considering the soil arching effect, especially a method for calculating active earth pressure in foundation pit group engineering where there is finite-width soil. Background Technology
[0002] In foundation pit engineering, the magnitude of the active earth pressure behind the wall is crucial for designing a reasonable foundation pit support structure. However, test results show that the calculation results of the classical earth pressure theory are too large, which will lead to an overly conservative design of the foundation pit support structure and increase the project cost.
[0003] To reasonably calculate active earth pressure, some researchers have found that the calculation results after considering the soil arching effect are closer to the experimental results. At the same time, with the emergence of large-scale projects such as urban commercial complexes and subway transfer station projects, the spacing between foundation pits is limited, and the classical earth pressure theory is no longer applicable. Therefore, it is extremely important to propose an effective active earth pressure calculation method to solve the design of foundation pit support structures under the condition of limited width soil. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for calculating active earth pressure on finite-width soils that takes into account the soil arching effect, thereby solving the problems existing in the background art.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is a method for calculating active earth pressure on finite-width soil considering the soil arching effect. Assuming that there is a finite-width soil mass between L-shaped and R-shaped foundation pits distributed to the left and right, the calculation of the active earth pressure on the wall adjacent to the finite-width soil mass in the L-shaped foundation pit (i.e., the right wall of the L-shaped foundation pit) includes the following steps:
[0006] (1) Determine the location of the sliding surface of the soil with limited width between the foundation pits, and divide the sliding soil into an upper rectangular area (zone 1) and a lower triangular area (zone 2) according to the sliding surface;
[0007] (2) Take a rectangular micro-element along the depth of the soil in Zone 1. Based on the assumption that the sliding soil is in an active limit equilibrium state, and considering the stress σ between the wall and the soil on the micro-element, w1 and vertical stress Establish the equilibrium equations;
[0008] (3) Apply the vertical stress at the bottom of zone 1 as a load q1 to the top of zone 2, analyze the force on the trapezoidal micro-element along the depth of zone 2 and establish the equilibrium equation.
[0009] (4) Combine the calculation results of steps (2) and (3) to solve for the active earth pressure intensity P on the entire wall. ah and size E a Parameters such as bending moment M.
[0010] Further, calculate the active earth pressure. Step (1) is as follows: For the soil with a limited width between the L foundation pit and the R foundation pit, determine whether equation (1) is valid. If it is valid, the condition of the soil with a limited width is met. The sliding surface of the soil with a limited width develops from the bottom of the right wall of the L foundation pit to the wall of the R foundation pit and extends vertically to the ground. Divide the upper rectangular area of the sliding soil into zone 1 and the lower triangular area into zone 2.
[0011]
[0012] Where α is the inclination angle of the Coulomb sliding surface. l1 is the width of the soil between the pits, H is the total height of the wall on the right side of pit L, H = H1 + H2, where H1 is the height of the wall in zone 1 and H2 is the height of the wall in zone 2. δ is the internal friction angle, γ is the wall-soil friction angle, and γ is the soil weight.
[0013] Furthermore, step (2) is as follows: Take a rectangular micro-element for the soil in zone 1, and combine the stress σ between the wall and the soil on the micro-element. w1 and vertical stress Establish the equilibrium equations;
[0014] Considering the frictional effect of the wall on the finite-width soil, the stress state at each point in the soil behind the wall will be deflected; for the soil in zone 1 under active limit state, consider a infinitesimal element, denoted as A and B at the left and right ends of the infinitesimal element, respectively:
[0015]
[0016] Where, θ A1 θ B1 The angles between the directions of the major principal stresses at points A and B on the wall edge of Zone 1 and the horizontal plane are respectively.
[0017] To simplify the derivation process, the Y-axis of the coordinate system σoτ, where the stress Mohr circle of any element of the soil behind the wall is located, is shifted to the left. The distance between the two coordinate systems gives us a new coordinate system σ′o′τ′, and the following relationship exists between the two coordinate systems:

[0030]
[0031] Where, σ ahw1 σ′ ahw1 The values of the horizontal active earth pressure at point A along the wall in Zone 1 are respectively represented in the coordinate systems σoτ and σ′o′τ′. The value of σoτ, representing the average vertical stress of the infinitesimal element in region 1, is given in the coordinate system.
[0032] σ′ ahw1 =σ′ 1-1A cos 2 θ A1 +σ′ 3-1A sin 2 θ A1 (10);

[0047] σ′ v2 =σ′ 1-2 sin 2 θ+σ′ 3-2 cos 2 θ (17);
[0048] Where, σ′ v2 σ′ 1-2 σ′ 3-2 These represent the vertical stress, major principal stress, and minor principal stress of the element in the σ′o′τ′ coordinate system within the 2nd region micro-element.

[0107] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention provides a method for calculating active earth pressure on finite-width soil considering the soil arching effect. Assuming a finite-width soil mass exists between L-shaped and R-shaped foundation pits distributed to the left and right, the method calculates the active earth pressure on the wall adjacent to the finite-width soil mass in the L-shaped foundation pit (i.e., the right wall of the L-shaped foundation pit), including the following steps:
[0108] Step 1: Determine whether equation (1) holds true. If it does, then the finite width soil condition is satisfied. The finite width soil sliding surface extends from the bottom of the right wall of pit L to the wall of pit R and vertically to the ground. Divide the upper rectangular area of the sliding soil into zone 1 and the lower triangular area into zone 2. Figure 2 As shown.
