Abstract

Based on the complex deep foundation pit group process of the Huimin Avenue Comprehensive Reconstruction Project in Nanjing, the finite element numerical simulation method is used to analyze the deformation characteristics of the retaining structure and the coupling effect between foundation pits during the whole process of excavation and support construction of the complex foundation pit group. Meanwhile, the differences in the deformation characteristics and coupling effects of the retaining structure under different construction time sequence schemes of the foundation pit group are studied. Finally, some suggestions are put forward for the monitoring and construction in this project, which provides a reference case for the design and construction of similar foundation pit groups.
