ABSTRACT

It was numerically simulated in the paper of the deformation characteristics of the diaphragm wall in the deep foundation by using MIDAS/GTS numerical simulation software which combined with the engineering practice of deep foundation pit of Hefei New Traffic Building and the actual construction sequence of the project in order to study the deformation characteristics of the diaphragm wall. The deformation regularity of the embossed belly shape of the diaphragm wall is shown in the whole construction period. The maximum displacement value of the wall occurs near the excavation surface and falls within a certain range. The conclusion provides a reference for future similar projects throughout to compare the monitoring data with the rationality, and correctness of the modeling and simulation are verified.
