The invention relates to a method for predicting stress deformation of a
confined space foundation pit support structure, which comprises the following steps of: S1, inputting
soil parameters and foundation pit design parameters, and generating a
stiffness matrix K; s2, determining an initial soil pressure parameter P, and calculating lateral deformation u of the retaining structure; s3: according to u, considering a foundation soil limited space, and updating P; calculating u again based on the updated P; s4, judging whether the error
delta u meets the precision requirement or not, if so, turning to S5, otherwise, repeating S3, and iteratively calculating u until the error
delta u meets the precision requirement; s5, after u is determined, soil
shear stress is calculated, and then shear strain and soil shear rigidity are calculated; s6, calculating the
elastic modulus k of the soil spring, and updating K; step S7, recording uT; then returning to S1, and entering the next excavation stage for calculation; and S8, after calculation is conducted to the designed excavation depth, P, u and the
bending moment M are output, and the stress deformation condition of the foundation pit support structure is evaluated according to the P, u and the
bending moment M. The method is beneficial for improving the precision of stress deformation prediction of the foundation pit support structure in the
confined space.
