Analysis on Deformation of a Pit in Soft Foundation during Excavation

Wang Li-juan

Abstract

The deformation of a pit in soft foundation during excavation is analyzed by using two-dimensional FEM.Step-construction is simulated with the finite element program PLAXIS.A practical excavation project is studied,and the calculated results are compared with measured results.It is shown that deformation calculation for pit excavation by PLAXIS is reliable.
