Effects of Partial Supporting Pile Removal from Deep Foundation Pits by Shallow Excavation Method in Loess Areas by Yunxin Zheng, Zhiping Hu, Xiang Ren, Rui Wang, Enxiang Zhang, Zhao Long

“…After the supporting piles are partially cut, the bending moment and displacement of the lower part of the broken piles differ significantly due to different excavation sequences, but the bending moment and displacement of the upper part of the broken piles are basically similar. In the process of removing the supporting piles, the Earth pressure behind the piles is redistributed, and the load is mainly transferred to the adjacent supporting piles outside the tunnel within the radius of one time of the tunnel diameter. …”
