The construction process of pile driving has a certain influence on surrounding buildings and environment.We make a theoretical analysis on the influence mechanism of pile driving and the simulation of pile driving process.Through a new plant project within the river land area in Shanghai,we apply hole expansion theory and the dynamic finite element method to calculate and analyze the pile construction on the adjacent riverway.The calculation results of dynamic finite element method show that the impact of pile construction on river bank is small,and is the same as hole expansion theory results.Engineering measures to prevent and mitigate the impact of piling driving are also put forward,which can provide reference for similar projects.
