Abstract： In this paper, numerical simulation analyses were performed to investigate the influence of construction procedures on foundation pit itself and the surrounding environment based on the background of A1 foundation pit of Shanghai Hongyuan Prime International Cultural City. The results show that when the excavation is completed, the final values of the amount of excavation pit bottom, vertical displacement of lattice and erect columns, stress of supporting system, lateral displacement of diaphragm wall and vertical displacement of adjacent energy supply pipeline for the Scheme One (mainly using island excavation) and Scheme Two (mainly using basin excavation) under the same conditions for the excavation and supporting are similar, but the latter is slightly smaller. In Scheme Two, the degree of the value dramatic changes for the impact of large foundation pit excavation on the foundation pit itself and the surrounding environment during each working condition is gentler than the value changes in Scheme One, therefore, Scheme Two is safer.
