Metro Station Deformation Caused by Deep Foundation Pit Construction

Abstract

Many excavation and backfill methods can be used to construct a deep foundation pit, but foundation pit construction will undoubtedly affects security of existing metro station. This research based on a transfer station of Chengdu Metro, three-dimensional numerical simulation method was used to analyze the deformation of metro station by changing construction methods of foundation pit. The results show that: (1) Both excavation and backfill methods of foundation pit have a significant effect on connection segments of metro station. (2) The main body of metro station is largely unaffected by foundation pit construction but it has been in the process of subsidence. (3) The more the construction steps of foundation pit are, the more slowly the displacement of metro station changes. The above results certainly contribute to research and develop new types of construction methods for complicated metro station.
