Development of Numerical Model for Deformation Prediction of Soil Mass During Construction of a Moderately Deep Structure in the Abaqus Software Package

Questions concerning numerical modeling of the construction of a deep pit are examined, and parameters of the numerical model of a moderately deeply embedded structure are substantiated using a model of a "hardening" soil in the Abaqus software package. Results of field investigations and those obtained during the numerical modeling are compared and indicate rather good agreement from both the qualitative and quantitative standpoints.
