Abstract
In current design specifications for deep excavation, the determination of safety factors against groundwater inrush only considers the self-weight effect of soil mass at the bottom. However, the shear strength and its spatial variability in a cement-solidified bottom layer also plays an important role in safety factor estimation. Based on that, in this study, the strength reduction method was introduced into reliability analysis of deep excavation engineering, and the influence of shear strength and its spatial variability of cement-solidified soil on the stability of deep excavation is studied. Furthermore, a deterministic analysis method that can equivalently consider soil uncertainty is proposed and verified.
