| Summary: | When constructing open excavation and adding stories on the upper part of an existing station structure, the new foundation pit contacts with the existing station at zero distance; subsequently, the construction has a greater impact than that of other close constructions. To explore the cross-impact of new and existing structures on open excavation and story-adding above the existing station, in this study, through numerical simulation and field measurement, we analyze the deformation law of the existing station and foundation pit retaining structure in the excavation and story-adding construction above the existing station. The following conclusions are obtained. The excavation of the upper foundation pit leads to the overall uplift of the existing station, and the sidewall exhibits an internal extrusion trend, which is caused by an increase in the horizontal load on the station caused by the unloading of the vault and expansion of the formation plastic zone. Affected by the existing station structure, some foundation pit retaining structures are end-suspended piles; the bottoms of the end-suspended pile slips are evident. This study offers control measures for the primary support connection between the pile bottom and initial retention and protection of the existing station, deep hole grouting reinforcement of the stratum behind the pile, and reserving earth berm at the pit bottom to reduce the deformation of the end-suspended pile. The research results can provide a reference for constructing the added story of a subway transfer station.
