  • Deep excavation projects are often carried out close to the nearby existing structures foundations, which create a limited space and earth pressure between them. However, the design of diaphragm walls and the struts for the excavation often follows conventional methods, assuming soil behind the diaphragm wall with an infinite space. As the results, the conventional design cannot reflect the presence of existing foundation and often leads to over conservative and uneconomical designs. Thus, this study performed a series of finite element (FE) simulations using PLAXIS 2D to better understand the effect of existing foundation on the diaphragm wall deformation and strut force in the adjacent deep excavation. The FE model of deep excavation used in this study was 10 m deep and 20 m wide supported by a 25 m long diaphragm wall and three 350x350 H-beam steel struts. The soil was assumed as clay with increasing undrained shear strength with depth. The variables in the FE simulations were the existing foundation dimensions (foundation height Ha and width Ba) and the horizontal distance (L) between the diaphragm wall and the existing foundation. Two boundaries conditions (i.e., top-bottom fixity and standard fixity) were applied to model the existing foundations with and without horizontal deformation during excavation. The numerical results showed that the horizontal deformation of the diaphragm wall and the strut force reduced as the dimensions of existing foundation increased and the distance between the diaphragm wall and the existing foundation decreased. The aforementioned effects were more pronounced for the existing foundation with standard fixity as well as with top-bottom fixity. The locations of failure surfaces, observed from the mobilized shear strain increment in the FE results, were also affected by the adjacent foundation dimensions and the distance.
