Abstract

Earth pressure field and hydrostatic water pressure field are usually considered for classical earth pressure theories. Nonconsideration of groundwater seepage field is one of the main reasons why measured values of water-earth pressure on supporting structures are generally very different from those calculated values.Under the action of seepage,seepage force changes soil effective stress and affects soil shear strength.Through calculating the interraction of the hindering force field and seepage force field,a multi-field coupling problem is solved, a new calculation expressions on the foundation pit is presented.Key words : multi-field coupling; seepage ; lateral pressure ; water-earth pressure ; hindering force
