Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of construction safety management, and in particular relates to a method for predicting settlement of the ground surface and soil in different strata caused by dewatering of a deep foundation pit in a multi-layer aquifer area. Background Art
[0002] Deep foundation pit dewatering can cause varying degrees of uneven settlement of the surrounding ground, leading to severe damage such as ground fissures or cracks in buildings. Rail transit projects inevitably involve a large number of deep foundation pits and deep foundation pit dewatering projects. As foundation pits become larger and deeper, involving multiple aquifers and aquitards, improper dewatering measures can easily lead to foundation pit accidents. Ground subsidence caused by deep foundation pit dewatering is closely linked to environmental, economic, and social issues, and has become a pressing issue that needs to be addressed during foundation pit construction.
[0003] Most existing studies focus on the settlement of strong or highly permeable layers during dewatering, while less attention is paid to the settlement of weak permeable layers under pumping conditions. There is a lack of research on ground settlement caused by dewatering in deep foundation pit projects in areas with multi-layer aquifers containing weak permeable layers. Ground settlement caused by foundation pit dewatering is caused by the combined effect of deformation of different soil layers. Current research focuses more on the overall settlement amount and less on the actual deformation and development patterns of different soil layers. Under dewatering conditions, the deformation patterns of aquifers and weak permeable layers are bound to be very different. In-depth research on the deformation patterns of different surrounding soil layers caused by deep foundation pit dewatering in areas with multi-layer aquifers, and accurate prediction of surface and different stratum soil settlement caused by deep foundation pit dewatering under different working conditions before excavation, is of great significance for deep foundation pit dewatering and drainage plans, subsequent excavation guidance, and the implementation of effective preventive measures. Summary of the Invention

[0013] To further optimize this technical solution, in step 5, the settlement of the ground surface and different strata soil caused by different deep foundation pit dewatering schemes is predicted.
[0014] To further optimize this technical solution, in step 6, based on the settlement of the ground and soil in different strata caused by deep foundation pit dewatering in the multi-layer aquifer area predicted in step 5, the settlement of the ground and soil in different strata caused by deep foundation pit dewatering in the multi-layer aquifer area under different dewatering schemes is predicted, and corresponding foundation pit dewatering schemes and corresponding preventive measures are proposed in a targeted manner for the settlement of different strata, so as to minimize the impact of deep foundation pit dewatering on the surrounding ground settlement.
