The goal of this study is to assess the application of the Hardening soil model in predicting the deformation of retaining walls of excavations in 2D and 3D finite element analysis at the Ho Chi Minh Metro project. Designed as the deepest underground station in the first metro line built in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Opera House station is located in an area with a dense building zone and close to historical buildings. A summary of the input soil properties is provided using data from site investigations, in-situ tests, and laboratory tests. By numerical simulation using the Hardening soil model, the parameters of the soil stiffness modulus value are verified based on the Standard Penetration Test (SPT), and Pressuremeter test (PMT). The obtained results of the numerical analysis by 2D and 3D finite element methods, and field observations indicate that applying the Hardening soil model with soil stiffness modulus obtained in situ tests gives reasonable results on the displacement of the retaining wall at the final phase. The relationship between the SPT value and the stiffness modulus of HCMC sand is a function of depth. This correlation is obtained through the comparison of wall deformation between the simulation and monitoring at the construction site. The results of the difference between 2D and 3D finite element analysis also are discussed in this study.

Mat foundations are most typically used in locations featuring weak soils such as soft clays and silts, particularly when building in demanding geotechnical conditions. Because of their poor engineering characteristics and significant difficulties associated with workability, these soils are often removed or avoided by excavating down to a specific depth. However, if thick layers are present, their removal becomes unpractical, costly, and creates inconvenience during construction. To overcome this issue, various reinforcement strategies can be adopted. In this study, the use of stone columns under mat foundations was investigated via numerical modeling. Two scenarios were compared: one in which stone columns were installed without any soil removal and another in which a layer of soft ground was removed and the foundation was installed without any ground treatment. Numerical results showed the clear beneficial effect of stone columns, which can significantly reduce settlements even in the presence of a thick deformable soil layer.

The most challenging issue when analyzing geotechnical structures by means of finite element method is the choice of appropriate constitutive soil model, especially with reference to serviceability limit states. The paper presents parametric study of a deep excavation in clays aiming to qualify the applicability of different soil constitutive models in such specific soil conditions. Three types of constitutive models are considered in the paper: linear elastic – perfectly plastic model (Mohr-Coulomb) as a simple and well recognized reference, hypoplastic model (Hypoplastic Clay) and nonlinear elasto-plastic cap models (Hardening Soil and Hardening Soil Small). Numerical analysis was performed using two finite element codes – Plaxis and GEO5 FEM both in 2D space and the results were compared to in-situ displacements measurements. The discussion on the suitability of chosen constitutive models for advanced modelling of deep excavation in preconsolidated clays is presented.
