Description
Summary:In this paper, the reinforced cement soil nailing support technology is adopted, and the soil nailing and surface layer of loess-based composite slurry are prepared by using loess and cement. A scale model box test is conducted to examine the changes in surface layer displacement and axial force in the soil nailing during excavation and loading. The step-by-step excavation process of the foundation pit, reinforced with a loess-based composite slurry soil nailing wall. It was simulated using ABAQUS finite element software (MATLAB R2022b). The results show that as the depth of the foundation pit continues to increase, the displacement of the surface layer increases first and then decreases, and the peak displacement appears in the middle of the foundation pit. During excavation, the axial force at the middle of each row of soil nails is greater than the axial force at the end, and the axial force will increase with the increase in depth. Throughout the loading process, the axial force in the soil nail diminishes as the depth of the foundation pit increases. Initially, the change is slow, but later it escalates considerably. As the excavation depth of the foundation pit increases, the safety factor of the foundation pit will gradually decrease, and finally stabilize at about 2.4, indicating that the loess-based cement slurry soil nailing wall support has high safety.
