Abstract

With the development of underground space and the scare of land resources, the problem of anti-floating for underground structure received more and more attention. The  computation of buoyancy is the key during the design of anti-floating for underground structures. In this paper, a simplified model was established to demonstrate the transfer of water pressure transfer inside soil exists reduction in time scale and space scale, and the law of water pressure transfer and the relationship between water pressure transfer and buoyancy were presented. Ultimately, a formula was proposed to compute the safety factor of anti-floating of underground structures, which may provide a reference for anti-floating of underground structures.
