Application of FEM in Analyzing Pit Deflection Induced by Excavation in Tianjin Port

Run Liu

Abstract

The wall deflection, ground settlement and heave of bottom induced by excavation in foundation pit are the important indexes of the safety of pits.A practical project is simulated with the finite element program PLAXIS by Step-construction. The calculation results agree well with the observed data. It shows that the result of PLAXIS is reliable.
