Abstract
Deformation of ultra-deep pit walls and surrounding geotechnical bodies due to engineering disturbances typically shows intricate spatiotemporal patterns. In this study, deformations at critical steps of the construction process were first numerically simulated by Midas GTS NX, and this was followed by lab-scale geophysical model tests of the entire process of the pit construction. Data on deformation obtained from numerical simulations and lab-scale geophysical model tests were compared with those obtained from a dynamic monitoring scheme in the field to analyze the characteristics of the deformation and evolution of the pit wall. This was used to derive a generally applicable theoretical expression to predict variations in the horizontal displacements.
