Popis: In order to limit the phenomenon that the global stability safety factor (GSF) of the diaphragm wall slurry trench calculated by the two-dimensional (2D) wedge method is too small, the 2D calculation model on global instability of trench wall is established by assuming the whole critical failure surface (CFS) is a quarter elliptic cylindrical surface, and the determination method of CFS is given too. In view of the successful application of the minimum potential energy principle in slope stability checking calculation and on the basis of the new model established, the 2D minimum potential energy method for calculating the GSF is proposed according to the minimum potential energy principle. The correctness of the 2D calculation model built and the rationality of the 2D calculation method proposed are verified based on ten engineering cases, and the sensitivity of the GSF to various parameters is analyzed on the basis of six design examples. Finally, the new calculation method is applied to the global stability checking calculation of trench wall in practical engineering, and the result shows the new calculation method given in this paper is still conservative, so the result calculated by the new calculation method is advised to be multiplied by a modification factor of 1.67 in practical application.
