Description
Summary:The superstructure of the metro depot is not only convenient for traffic but also solves the land-use problem. However, the construction of the superstructure comes after the metro depot has been put into normal operation. The foundation of the depot is bound to produce secondary settlement. Based on the calculation method of the friction-end bearing pile of Mindlin’s solution in the specification, the superstructure construction project above the Beijing Guogongzhuang metro depot is taken as the basis. Under certain conditions, the settlement of the pile foundation under the action of secondary load and the influence on the track structure are calculated. Moreover, the finite element analysis software ANSYS 18.0 is used to establish the analysis model of the construction of the superstructure of the applied depot. The results show that the influence of the pile foundation settlement produces a certain additional influence on the surrounding tracks, and the maximum value locates at the center of the bearing platform and gradually decreases outward. Under the conditions of informative construction, uniform loading of the structure and control of the construction process, local bias loads and uneven settlements are avoided. The impact of the construction on the track can be effectively controlled, and the impact on the structure can be kept within the allowable limits. By comparing this instance with a number of similar superstructure projects in Beijing, this study shows that the overall risk of this type of project can be controlled and can provide a technical reference for similar superstructure projects on top of a metro depot construction in the future.
