Research on the Influence of Groundwater in Coastal Areas on the Stress and Deformation Characteristics of Integrated Pipe Gallery by Yuanyuan Tian, Qingbiao Wang, Zhongjing Hu, Shuo Yang, Chuanxiong Peng, Xu Zhang, Zhongying Li, Xugang Wang

“…Under the action of the buoyancy force, the bottom plate moves upward, and the surface displacement rises continuously with the rise of the groundwater level. (4) When the groundwater depth is the same, the analysis of the test results and the numerical simulation calculation results are basically consistent, which further verifies the validity of the numerical simulation calculation and has reference value. (5) The engineering example shows that in order to reduce the service life of the integrated pipe gallery, the impact of groundwater on the integrated pipe gallery cannot be ignored.…”
