An approximate approach for quantifying the effects of deep well excavation on nearby masonry buildings

Puntos clave

• Damage to masonry buildings increases with proximity to deep well excavation sites, and reduces construction viability.
• Stress analysis was conducted on masonry structures within 50 meters of well excavation, revealing substantial vibrations.
• Vibration monitoring was used to assess structural integrity during deep well excavation in urban settings.
• These findings highlight the need for careful planning around excavation projects to safeguard nearby buildings.
