“…Ki et al [21] measured the parameters of a soil hardening model (HSM) of soft clay through an experimental method, which provided a method for the study of soil constitutive models in soft-soil areas. Based on the stress and deformation characteristics of deep foundation pit excavations in soft-soil areas, Panchal et al [22] studied the construction technology and equipment for deep foundation pit excavation in soft-soil areas. An analysis of the monitoring data on the anchor cables' internal forces, the pile tops' horizontal displacement, and the groundwater levels revealed a close correlation between the maximum horizontal displacement of the support structure and the excavation depth and time.…”

Based on a foundation pit project in Fuzhou, China, the influence of foundation pit excavation on the supporting structure and surrounding environment in a soft-soil area is studied. This study was based on actual monitoring data and investigated the variations in the supporting structure, surrounding constructions, and groundwater levels during excavation. The analysis of the monitoring data demonstrates the presence of pronounced ‘spatial effects’ and ‘temporal effects’ on the deformation of the support structure and surrounding structures. The deformation of the support structure and surrounding structures exhibits distinct spatial distribution characteristics at different locations along the excavation pit wall. Typically, more significant deformations are observed in the middle section of the pit wall, while deformations decrease as the distance from the pit corner decreases. The support structure’s and surrounding structures’ deformation characteristics vary during different construction stages. During the excavation phase, the rate of deformation increase in the support structure and surrounding structures is notably higher. In contrast, during the construction of the underground basement floor and the backfilling phase of the excavation pit, the rate of deformation increase in the support structure and surrounding structures is relatively lower. Throughout the entire construction period of the excavation pit, the groundwater level in the vicinity of the pit exhibits a fluctuating trend. Apart from the influence of rainfall, the overall variation in groundwater level is minimal, indicating the effective water-sealing performance of the combined Soil-Mixing Wall (SMW) support structure within the circular enclosure.

“…Feng et al [27] used the numerical simulation method to study the deformation law of supporting structure and surrounding soil during the excavation of soft soil foundation pits on the basis of verifying the reliability of the numerical simulation with the site monitoring data. Panchal et al [28] developed a new process and equipment for simulating the excavation of deep foundation pits in soft soil; this excavation process can ensure the stability of foundation pits and reduce the disturbance to surrounding buildings. Kiet et al [29] measured the soil hardening model (HSM) parameters of Ho Chi Minh City's soft clay through experimental means, which laid a foundation for the numerical simulation of a local deep foundation pit.…”

In addition to selecting an effective support structure to control deformation, precipitation and water stopping should also be considered when designing a support scheme for water-bearing foundation pits in soft soil areas. This paper presents a detailed description of the foundation pit support scheme, the precipitation and water-stopping scheme, and the monitoring scheme of the foundation pit project of Taijiang Square in Fuzhou. During the construction of the foundation pit, the monitoring data of 12 items such as the deep horizontal displacement of the enclosure pile, the horizontal displacement at the top of the foundation pit, the settlement at the top of the foundation pit, the axial force of the internal bracing, and the axial force of the enclosure pile were obtained through 12 months of monitoring. The analysis of the monitoring data for each item led to the following two main findings. The first finding is that, during the construction of the pit, the monitoring values of the 12 monitoring items did not exceed the alarm values, which proves that the support scheme of the cast-in-place pile enclosure structure and internal bracing can meet the design requirements of deep foundation pits in soft soil areas. The second finding is that tube-well dewatering is an effective way to lower the groundwater level in water-containing deep foundation pits in soft soil areas, and double-wheel deep-mixing water-stopping curtain walls can effectively control the infiltration of groundwater outside the water-containing deep foundation pits in soft soil areas. This foundation pit project is representative, and it provides a good reference case for the design of water-bearing deep foundation pit projects in soft soil areas.
