Physical model test study on the working performance of integrated foundation pit supporting structure

The integration of underground single structure and retaining structure is a new type of foundation pit support, and its working performance needs to be further studied. The physical model test was carried out on the diaphragm wall structure of "two walls in one" in this paper. The soil settlement and the earth pressure of the outside of the foundation pit and the stress of the integrated supporting structure were analyzed when the excavation depth is different. The analysis showed that the settlement of soil behind the wall gradually increased with the increase of excavation depth of the foundation pit. when it was 1H_e away from the diaphragm wall, the maximum of soil settlement occurred, which was 0.08%H_e(H_e is the maximum excavation depth). With the increase of excavation depth, the state changed from static to active. Under the same condition, the bending moment of the wall increased first and then decreased with the depth. The reverse bending point is near 1.23H_e.
