AI Technical Summary
Existing foundation pit retaining structures face challenges such as high engineering costs, construction difficulties, and difficulty in quality control in deep, water-rich, soft soil geology. In particular, they pose safety risks and low construction efficiency when the continuous wall is deep and the steel cage hoisting is complex.
The foundation pit retaining structure adopts a combination of cement-soil partition curtain and underground continuous wall. The cement-soil partition curtain completely penetrates the confined water layer and enters the lower water-resistant layer. Combined with the suspended short retaining wall, the amount of reinforced concrete is reduced and the bearing capacity of the retaining soil is improved.
It effectively blocks water seepage around the foundation pit, reduces project costs, improves construction safety and quality control, reduces the amount of concrete and steel reinforcement used in the continuous wall, and improves construction efficiency and safety.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of foundation pit engineering construction and design technology, specifically to a foundation pit retaining structure in deep, confined water-rich soft soil geology. Background Technology
[0002] Existing foundation pit retaining structures often employ diaphragm walls that completely penetrate confined aquifers to reach the underlying aquitard. However, this method has drawbacks. The diaphragm walls are quite deep, with some projects reaching depths of 50-70 meters or even deeper. This results in excessive concrete and steel reinforcement usage, leading to high project costs. Furthermore, the deep trenches and long construction times make the walls highly susceptible to borehole collapse and shrinkage in soft soil, potentially causing ground subsidence. Uneven wall thickness, sand inclusions in the poured concrete, and faults also increase safety risks. Additionally, the steel reinforcement cages are often too tall and heavy, increasing the difficulty and risk of hoisting them.
[0003] Meanwhile, existing foundation pit retaining structures still employ a scheme of using bored piles + water-stop curtains to penetrate confined aquifers into the lower impermeable layer, which is limited to projects with relatively shallow foundation pit depths and shallow confined aquifers. Furthermore, current foundation pit water-stop curtains mostly use densely packed mixing piles outside the bored retaining piles or jet grouting piles between the bored piles. Both methods suffer from drawbacks such as poor verticality control and lower pile quality with increasing depth. Additionally, both mixing piles and jet grouting piles require mechanical drilling for each hole, resulting in low efficiency.
[0004] In summary, in foundation pit engineering in deep, confined aquifer soft soil geology, the issue of water permeability at the four walls and bottom of the foundation pit must be properly addressed. Existing retaining structures that form barriers by penetrating confined aquifer strata have limitations such as poor economic efficiency, construction difficulties, and difficulty in quality control when the confined aquifer strata are at considerable depths. Utility Model Content

[0010] Preferably, the vertical embedded depth Ld of the underground continuous wall is 0.8-2 times the depth H of the foundation pit.
[0011] Preferably, the depth L in the lower stable water-resisting layer is greater than or equal to 1 m.
[0012] Preferably, the thickness of the cement-soil partition curtain is 0.5-1.0 m.
[0013] Preferably, the cement-soil partition curtain is a mixture of cement slurry and / or water glass slurry and soil.

[0016] Preferably, the underground continuous wall is an underground continuous pile wall.
[0017] Preferably, the distance between the underground continuous wall and the cement-soil partition curtain is 100-200 mm.

[0019] (1) The cement-soil partition curtain vertically penetrates the confined water stratum and enters the lower water-resisting layer, and can effectively form a partition curtain to hinder the water around the foundation pit from permeating to the four walls and the bottom of the foundation pit, especially in deep and thick soft soil stratum with confined water, has high applicability, and can effectively guarantee the safety of the foundation pit.
[0020] (2) The enclosure structure of the cement-soil partition curtain + suspended short enclosure wall (pile) has the semi-rigid partition curtain which is beneficial to improve the bearing capacity of the enclosure and retaining soil body, can effectively reduce the amount of concrete and steel bars of the reinforced concrete wall, and reduces the engineering cost and saves the cost.
