Time-Varying Analysis of Retaining Structures Enhanced with Soil Nails and Prestressed Anchors

At present, the research results for the stress response and deformation characteristics of composite support structures are mostly based on ideal or standard working conditions. External disturbances often exist in practical engineering, which makes the monitoring data deviate from the calculation results. In order to analyze the causes of deviation and correct them in practice, it is necessary to consider the time-varying effect and study the construction mechanics behaviors of composite support structures. Based on in situ test data, the effects of soil predisturbance, excessive excavation, unloading on the surface of edges, the tensioning and lagging of the anchor, and continuous rainfall on the stress-time curves of soil nails were analyzed. On the basis of verifying the effectiveness of the model, ABAQUS finite element software (v.6.10) was used to simulate practical engineering based on ideal working conditions. Comparing the in situ test data and numerical simulation results, the development of mechanical response and deformation characteristics in the process of support structure installation and soil digging and filling were analyzed. Research shows that the time-varying effect has a significant impact on construction mechanics behaviors, especially on soil nailing combined with the use of prestressed anchors, due to layered excavation and support.
