description | With urban space becoming much more crowded, the construction of underground spaces continues to expand to deeper, and the requirements for the large depth and minor deformation in urban engineering construction are getting more urgent. A new kind of in-situ assembling caisson technology (called VSM) is a vertical shaft method (VSM), which excavates the stratum under water with a mechanical arm and assembles the prefabricated caisson segments at the same time. This paper takes the Shanghai Zhuyuan Bailonggang Sewage Connecting Pipe Project as an example, which is the first construction project in the soft soil area, such as Shanghai, and makes a technical analysis of the VSM by comparing the field measurement and numerical simulation. Ground settlements and layered deep displacements were monitored in the field measurement during the VSM construction. It shows that the maximum ground settlement caused by the VSM is 15.2 mm and the maximum horizontal displacement is 3.74 mm. The influence range of the shaft excavation on the ground settlement is about 30 m away from the shaft center. The results demonstrate that the VSM construction has great applicability in the soft soil area. A finite element simulation model of the VSM shaft is established and verified by field measurement. There is a certain error between the traditional theoretical calculation by analogy to the common retaining walls of the deep foundation pit and the measured results, while the simulation results are relatively consistent with field measurements. The reasons for the difference are well-analyzed. Finally, the effects of the VSM construction method on the engineering environment are analyzed, and the suggestions for deformation control in the future are put forward. |
