Description
Summary:Urban underground space development has heightened concerns over the safety of deep foundation pit construction. This study conducted time-series monitoring of critical safety-influencing factors and applied the Gaussian copula-based Bayesian network (GCBN) model for comprehensive reliability analysis of deep foundation pit support structures. The GCBN model, integrating the multivariate data management of pair copula with Bayesian network’s uncertainty handling, found that building settlement has the greatest impact on the safety of deep foundation pit and revealed a reliability index (<inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>β</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>) of 0.44 in an actual case, suggesting a hazardous condition. Based on the reliability index <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mi>β</mi></semantics></math></inline-formula>, emergency measures were promptly taken. Compared to traditional reliability methods, the approach presented in this paper takes into account the dependence among monitoring indicators, which is more aligned with actual engineering conditions and holds significant reference value for the safety assessment of underground engineering structures.
