Abstract: A comparison study was performed to assess the effect of considering seepage in foundation pit excavation,using twodimensional finite element analysis (FEA).The following were predicted using FEA:settlement of ground surface outside the foundation pit,heaving of the bottom of excavation,strut reaction and displacement.The results show that the predicted deformation considering seepage is greater than that without seepage.
