For multi-braced diaphragm wall structure calculation
a matrix displacement method based on the theory of elastic foundation beam is derived considering the effects of staged excavation upon internal force and displacement as well as the bracing force. Based on the Melan’s solution
combining with the geometrical plane-strain problems
a displacement solution in semi-infinite elastic under horizontal strip load is derived. Furthermore
the horizontal foundation coefficient applied to the above matrix displacement method is gained. Compared with measured results of diaphragm wall obtained from engineering cases
the analysis results indicate that the matrix displacement method is convenient and feasible
and it can provide references to the similar projects.
