The excavation of a foundation pit will break the original stress balance and affect the surface settlement of the natural foundation of adjacent buildings, so deformation control is very important. In this paper, numerical simulation results of the additional stress of a natural foundation caused by a foundation pit excavation were compared with experimental results to verify the accuracy of the numerical model of a foundation pit excavation and obtain a reliable ratio of building width to the average particle size of the sand that was not affected by the particle size effect. Then, the distribution and variation law of the surface settlement of a natural foundation caused by excavation was studied by a model test, and the relationship between the deformation of a natural foundation and the depth of a foundation pit excavation and the additional load of building was obtained.
