Three-dimensional model is established with finite difference method to simulate construction process based ondesign and construction plans of existing overpass pile foundation adjacent to certain large-section railway tunnel inChengdu, China. Ground, isolation pile, main bridge pier and ramp pile near the tunnel are taken as research object, andsurface settlement amount, displacement change law of each pile foundation and structural mechanics property are analyzedto further judge whether safety of adjacent overpass structure can be ensured during construction in accordance withused tunnel design and construction plans. Research result shows that the maximum value of surface settlement amount is13 mm, and settlement range is within 8 m at two sides of tunnel axis; and the settlement amount of pile top of mainbridge pier is greatest, referring to 47 mm. Axial force and bending moment borne by the main bridge pier are greatest,and horizontal displacement and bending moment distribution at different positions of the main bridge pier at two sides ofthe tunnel have the characteristics of right-and-left symmetry, and point of inflection is at the position being 1/3 of pilelength away from the pile top, while point of inflection of isolation pile is at the position being 2/5 of pile length awayfrom the pile top, and reinforcement of the pile body may be adjusted accordingly. The pile with minimum safety factor isthe isolation pile which is closest to the tunnel, and the minimum safety factor is 3.5. As displacement value of each pilefoundation is within allowed range, and safety factor meets standard requirement, so construction as per the design andconstruction plan may ensure safety of adjacent overpass structure.
