Numerical Analysis of Influencing Factors of Uneven Settlement in Abutment Foundation

The uneven settlement of ground is the common problem in the engineering construction. Based on the Fuyan Bridge whose uneven settlement of ground leads to the crack of abutment and arch ring, the settlement deformation of abutment ground is analyzed by means of FE software ANSYS with the hypothesis of soil parameters. The law and curves are obtained that illustrate the relationship between variation of calculation parameters in soil & settlement deformation in abutment foundation, which offer references to design and construction of other similar projects.
