Abstract

Abstract

The hardening soil small-strain （HSS） model has gained increasing attention in recent years for excavation problems that require strict strain control， due to its capacity to reasonably account for the mechanical behavior of soils within the small-strain range. Given the significant variations in geological conditions across different regions， this study built upon existing research by conducting laboratory tests and investigating model parameter calibration for representative soils in the Hangzhou region. Validated through case studies， a methodology for determining HSS model parameters based on laboratory tests， suitable for the Hangzhou region， was proposed. Furthermore， two empirical approaches were established to estimate key HSS model parameters under limited data conditions， using only standard geotechnical survey reports. Both approaches demonstrated strong applicability in simulating excavation construction processes. This research offers valuable guidance for relevant engineering practices.
