Abstract

The seepage field of a suspended waterproof curtain strip foundation pit in a deep phreatic aquifer is theoretically analyzed, and a calculation method for the foundation pit water inflow and water level outside the curtain is derived. In this paper, it is assumed that the horizontal hydraulic gradient of the seepage field above the aquiclude below the bottom of the waterproof curtain decreases linearly. The separation variable method is used to solve the seepage field in the regular area inside the foundation pit, and the hydraulic head distribution function inside the foundation pit is obtained. According to the hydraulic head distribution function inside the foundation pit, the calculation expression of the water inflow of the foundation pit is further deduced theoretically. On this basis, the improved resistance coefficient method is applied to link the water level outside the pit with the solved hydraulic head inside the pit and solved. In addition, the calculation results presented in this study are compared with the calculation results of the existing model and the measured data of the foundation pit project of Yangwan Station, which proves that the analytical method can effectively meet the requirements of engineering applications.
