[0040] As Figure 1 shown, a reliability analysis method applicable to the sliding failure of deep foundation pits provided by the present invention includes the following steps:
[0041] Step S10: Collect the topographic and geomorphic features, physical and mechanical parameters of the soil mass (including unit weight, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, internal friction angle, cohesion, dilation angle), topographic and geological structures, groundwater hydrological data, etc. of the deep foundation pit excavation site, and consider the impact of the foundation pit excavation on the surrounding buildings, traffic, pipelines and other infrastructure.
[0042] Step S20: Establish a finite element model according to the construction design drawings and the physical and mechanical parameters of the soil mass.
[0043] Use finite element software such as abaqus and Flac3D to establish a two-dimensional finite element model of the foundation pit and its surrounding environment, define the material parameters of each soil layer, the material parameters of the support structure, the construction process, simulate the performance changes of the foundation pit support in different construction stages, and at the same time adjust the model parameters based on the on-site monitoring data, and set reasonable constraint conditions and boundary conditions based on the design drawings and the topographic and geomorphic conditions of the foundation pit.
[0044] The specific establishment process is as follows:
[0045] Step S21: Establish a geometric model: Draw a two-dimensional model of the cross-section in the finite element software according to the construction design drawings.
[0046] Step S22: Define material properties: Input the physical and mechanical parameters of different soil layers; according to the support structure information, input the elastic modulus, density, and Poisson's ratio of concrete or steel.
[0047] Step S23: Set boundary conditions and contact relationships: Apply constraints to the bottom and sides of the model, fix all degrees of freedom at the bottom, and only restrict the horizontal displacement at the sides; set surface-to-surface contact between the pile and the soil mass, the normal model is hard contact, and the tangential attribute is selected as the penalty function, and the friction coefficient is ( (where $\varphi$ is the angle of internal friction); Apply surface load pressure according to the instantaneous load conditions of the ground buildings; Apply corresponding water pressure according to the hydrogeological data, apply the supporting structure load according to the supporting structure conditions, and gradually apply the support reaction force according to the construction process;
[0048] Step S24, Mesh generation: Use the mesh generation function built in the finite element software to generate the mesh. Use finer meshes near the soil layer and the supporting structure and in the stress concentration areas, and use coarser meshes in areas far from these regions.
[0049] Step S30, Install monitoring equipment to monitor the working state of the foundation pit in real time to obtain on-site monitoring data, and compare it with the results of the finite element model to update the parameters of the finite element model in real time;
[0050] Among them, according to the actual construction sequence, set multiple analysis steps to simulate the entire construction process, simulate the progressive excavation and installation of the supporting structure; At the same time, at the positions corresponding to the on-site monitoring points in the model, use the deformation nephogram to display the stress-strain and strain displacement under each analysis step, and extract the time history change diagram of the key nodes to display the calculation results, compare the calculation results of the finite element model and the on-site monitoring data, and adjust the parameters of the finite element model to make it better simulate the actual situation;
[0051] Step S40, Extract the elements in the finite element model and establish a random field model according to the distribution of the soil material parameters;
[0052] Combine the properties of each soil layer to determine the probability distributions of the elastic modulus, density, cohesion, and angle of internal friction of the property parameters of each soil layer. According to the probability distributions of these soil layer property parameters, use mathematical software such as Matlab and Mathematica to generate the values of each parameter equal to the number of elements, and use programming software to randomly assign these values to the elements in the finite element model to simulate the spatial variability of each soil layer and establish a random field model of the soil layer. The specific steps are as follows:
[0053] Step S41, Determine the distribution of each soil layer parameter: According to the geological report and on-site monitoring data, determine the distributions (including the first four moments of the mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis) of the elastic modulus, density, angle of internal friction, and cohesion of each soil layer in the foundation pit;
[0054] Step S42, Extract elements and random assignment: Extract the central point coordinates of each element in the finite element model and import them into the mathematical analysis software (such as Matlab, Mathematica, etc.). At the same time, write a program in the mathematical software and input the randomly generated material parameter data into the finite element model. Examples of random fields are shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 as shown.
[0055] Step S50: Calculate the safety factor under each random field model according to the strength reduction method;
[0056] By setting the soil plastic material, the strength reduction method is used to calculate the safety factor of the foundation pit at each construction stage. The strength reduction method is to reduce the strength of the rock and soil mass until the foundation pit slope loses stability, so as to obtain the strength reserve safety factor of the foundation pit slope; the parameters cohesion and internal friction angle representing soil plasticity are reduced through formulas, and each reduction is calculated once. After continuous repeated reduction calculations, when there is a penetrating plastic slip surface in the finite element model, a sudden change in the displacement of the characteristic point, and the finite element model calculation is interrupted, the field variable K is output at this time r as the safety factor;
[0057] The calculation formula of the safety factor is as follows:
[0058]
[0059]
[0060] In the formula: c is the initial cohesion of the rock and soil mass; is the initial friction angle of the soil; K r is the safety factor;
[0061] Step S60: Transform the safety factor into a performance function, calculate the first four moments of the performance function using the high-order moment method, and calculate the probability distribution function and probability density function of the performance function;
[0062] Among them, according to the finite element analysis results, construct the performance function of the foundation pit slip failure G(x) = K r – 1, K r is the safety factor of the foundation pit, G(x)>0, the foundation pit is safe, G(x)≤0 the foundation pit fails. There are many random variables in the performance function, so the Monte Carlo method is used to calculate the first four moments of the performance function:
[0063]
[0064] Among them, μ G , δ G are the mean and standard deviation of the performance function Z = G(X) respectively; α kG is its k-th central moment; in the formula: X i =(x 1i , x 2i ,…, x ni ) is the i-th value of each random variable, i ∈ [1,…, N]; N is the number of sampling calculations, and n is the number of random variables.
[0065] If the distribution of the performance function is described by the mean and variance, the reliability index under the two-parameter distribution is:
[0066]
[0067] When the skewness of a random variable has a significant impact on the statistical characteristics of the random variable, using the two-parameter distribution theory for simulation will introduce large errors. To consider the influence of skewness on the parameters, a three-parameter distribution is used to analyze the random variable:
[0068]
[0069]
[0070] To ensure the existence of β 3M-S the following equation must hold:
[0071]
[0072] The fourth-order moment reliability index is calculated as follows:
[0073]
[0074] P F = Φ(-β 4M )
[0075]
[0076] q0 = l(2l 2 - k1 / k2 - 3) + β 2M / k2, l = l1 / l2 / 3
[0077]
[0078] To ensure the existence of l2, the following equation must be satisfied:
[0079]
[0080] Step S70: Finally, based on the probability distribution function and probability density function of the performance function, the failure probability P f of the foundation pit sliding and the reliability β are obtained;
[0081] The β 2M β 3M-S β 3M-L β 4M obtained using the above formulas, and the minimum value is taken as the reliability β of the foundation pit stability.

Although the present invention has been disclosed through the above embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the relevant art can make some changes or modifications within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention to obtain equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes. However, as long as it does not depart from the content of the technical solution of the present invention, any simple modification, equivalent change, and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
