摘要

This paper uses a simplified assessment method based on the excavated-induced ground movement to examine the coupling effect between adjacent excavations during construction. The finite element numerical model is established to simulate and analyze the deformation of adjacent excavations at each stage of construction. Distinct construction sequences are employed to explore the dissimilarities in the deformation characteristics of the surrounding soil and envelope after excavation. The results indicate that when adjacent excavations are excavated simultaneously, their interactions affect the soil and envelopes' deformation. The maximum ground settlement occurs at a certain distance from the edge of the excavation. As the excavation depth increased, the enclosure exhibited a more pronounced deformation. The deformation of the enclosure structure can be significantly inhibited by the spatial effect at the corners of the excavation. When adjacent pits are constructed in different construction sequences, the enclosure structure on the first constructed excavation often experiences greater deformation than on the later constructed excavation.
