Linear elastic model is common used to analayze retaining structure of deep foundation pit excavation
which is an approximate treatment in some aspects
such as material compose
material characteristics and so on. There will be some warp in the analysis with this model compared with practical situation. Based on the practical project of Qiutao Road Station excavation of Hangzhou Metro No.1. A nonlinear solid model is established to study the loading mechanism of secant piles. Compared with the measured results
it is shown that this method is vaild and it can be applied to the deep foundation pit design and construction.
