Abstract:

A high statue structure needs to be designed together with the design of a cutandcover Metro station. Regarding the design of the foundation of the high statue structure, three options, i.e., “π”shaped foundation, boxshaped foundation and transfer beam foundation, are proposed. Comparison and contrast is made among these three design options and it is concluded that the transfer beam foundation is a good solution for the case. The mechanical calculation analysis of the transfer beam foundation is summarized and it is suggested that, in the calculation of the transfer beams, the beam in one direction should be taken as the main loadbearing beam, while the beam in the other direction should be regarded as safety reserves. 

Key words: cutandcover Metro station, tower structure, “π”shaped foundation, boxshaped foundation, transfer beam foundation
