Earth pressure is the main load on the retaining structure of foundation pit. The really earth pressure is very different from that of theoretic one due to many factors. The reliability of earth pressure controls their safety and stability in support structure designing. By analyzing the monitoring data of earth pressure on the diaphragm wall
which using as retaining structure for deep foundation pit of north anchor for Run-Yang Bridge
it is found that the earth pressure diagram is different in every excavation stage
that is
it changes with excavation and supporting. This will be very important to reliability design for resemblance engineerings. Moreover
it will be a base for soil and structure interaction study.
