Base on general three dimension nonlinear numerical simulation software, mechanism of composite soil-nail retaining structures in foundation-pit engineering are analyzed in this paper. Research contents include construction process simulation of excavation by steps, soil nailing installation and panel manufacture etc. Tension distribution range of soil layer, bottom heaving in the pit and axial force distribution along nail etc. are analyzed through the comparison of mechanical characteristics between computational results and field test data in the case of micro pile composite soil-nail support engineering. The action mechanism and working performance of composite soil-nail retaining support are also systematically studied and theoretical basis can be provided in optimal design, popularization and application.
