The panel under discussion is No. 698 of Prosper Haniel coal mine, Germany. The author discusses both the distribution of displacement vectors, according to the theory assuming surface point displacement towards the center of gravitation （COG） zone of a selected deposit element, and the analysis of horizontal displacement measurements, based on the assumption that the value of horizontal displacement is proportional to the slope of the subsidence trough. Finally, the value of horizontal displacement coefficient B is estimated for particular longitudinal and transverse measurement section of the analyzed longwall No. 698.展开更多

The new supporting structure is assembled by prefabricated steel structural units. The adjacent steel structural units are jointed with fasteners, and each steel structural unit has a certain radian and is welded by two steel tubes and one piece of steel disc. In order to test and verify the reliability of the new supporting structure, the field tests are designed. The main monitoring programs include the hoop stress of supporting structure, lateral earth pressure, and soil deformation. The monitoring data of the field tests show that the new supporting structure is convenient, reliable and safe.展开更多

Based on field measured data, the ground surface settlement, deflection of retaining piles and wall, internal force analysis of concrete piles, axial anchoring forces, groundwater table, and the deformation of surround building and pipelines were investigated. The results indicates that the combining application of concrete piles, jet grouting columns and anchors support system can effectively control excavation-induced surface ground settlements. The field maximum lateral wall deflections are between 0.o2% and o.19% of the excavation depth due to the competitive site conditions. The bending moment-depth relationship curve is S-type. Groundwater leakage results in the sharp drop in groundwater level, which is part of the reasons for the adjacent building settlement. The axial anchoring forces of the upper layer of anchors increase gradually during the excavation, but those of the lower layer of anchors slightly reduced firstly and then tend to be stable during the excavation procedure. In comparison with the histories of excavation cases, the small lateral wall deflection in this study results from the favorable site condition and the relative rigidity of the retaining structure system.展开更多

The horizontal displacement of the retaining structure, the axial force of the support, andthe vertical displacement of the column were studied and compared to the collected data from the field. The findingsindicate that when the foundation pit is excavated, the maximum deformation of the retaining structure progressivelydecreases from the top, the distortion of the retaining structure gradually rises, and the final maximumdeformation is around 17 meters deep. In each layer of support, the largest axial force support is located in thefirst reinforced concrete support;the uplift of the pit bottom caused by soil unloading plays a primary role in thevertical displacement of the column, and the column exhibits an upward trend under all construction conditions.When compared to the measured data, the generated findings are comparable and the fluctuation trend is extremelyconsistent. The findings of this article may give technical direction for the development of subway stationswith a comparable engineering basis.展开更多

Dynamic predictions of the tunnel horizontal displacement, tunnel ballast settlement, and tunnel differential settlement are important for ensuring the safety of buildings and tunnels. First, based on the Hangzhou Metro project, we analyzed the influence of construction on the deformation of existing subway structures and the difficulties and key points in monitoring. Then, a deformation prediction model, based on a back propagation(BP) neural network, was established with massive monitoring data. In particular, we analyzed the influence of four structures of the BP neural network on prediction performance, i.e., single input–single hidden layer–single output, multiple inputs–single hidden layer–single output, single input–double hidden layers–single output, and multiple inputs–double hidden layers–single output, and verified them using measured data.展开更多

In order to consider the sensitivity of pile behavior to the m-value,the relationships between the applied horizontal loads at pile head and the corresponding m-value along with the pile stiffness changes are studied. Based on statistics data from the extensive in-situ tests, the back analysis results suggest an exponential expression for the m-value in various soil conditions and horizontal displacements at pile head. This method is capable of providing an accurate m-value in calculating the pile responses under lateral loads.展开更多
