Comparison for Support Patterns of Temporary Shaft for Construction in Silty Clay

摘要

Based on a temporary shaft for construction, this paper compared two supporting patterns in the geological condition dominated by silty clay, the open-cut method with tunneling support and the bored piles supporting method, in the respects of ground surface deformation, the envelope structure deformation and the steel brace forces, using the numerical simulation method. And by comparison of the numerical results with the monitoring data, it is verified that the calculation model and methods of analysis are rational. Furthermore, the open-cut method with tunneling support is recommended as the better supporting method that can both ensure the structure safety and economy in areas of similar geological conditions. The paper has some reference value for shaft supports under similar construction conditions.
