Abstract

Abstract Construction of a typical subway station usually involves a narrow long excavation with a width of approximately 20 m. An undrained base heave is a common problem in deep excavation areas with soft clay, which may induce considerable post uplift and damage the safety of the retaining system. Post uplift involves complex interactions between soil, pile post foundation, and supported struts, and an accurate prediction of post uplift is challenging. This paper aimed to establish a practical method for predicting the base heave and post uplift in the construction of typical subway stations in areas with thick soft clay. Series soil–water coupled finite element method (FEM) analysis was conducted to investigate the characteristics of the base heave with different soil properties and wall stiffnesses. The results showed that the calculated base heave can be fitted by a normalized function, regardless of large variations in soil properties and wall design parameters. The normalized function was then applied to a soil–post–strut interaction analysis model to predict the post uplift at different excavation depths. The application of the proposed method to a real subway station project showed that the predicted results were in good agreement with the field observations.
