Overview

Analysis demonstrates building movements due to eccentric loads in residential structures, indicating restoration measures are effective.

Key Points

  • This research investigates the movement of residential buildings affected by eccentric loads and complex subsoil conditions.
  • Analyzed building movements during construction in 1983.
  • Conducted boreholes, cone penetration tests, and laboratory tests to assess soil conditions.
  • Measured vertical displacement of building foundations over one year.
  • Performed finite-element analysis to study the impacts of load eccentricity and soil characteristics.
  • Underpinned foundations with micropiles, including pre-stressed options.
  • Buildings exhibited significant tilt, compromising serviceability due to inclination.
  • Finite-element analysis highlighted the roles of eccentric loading and complex soil layers in causing movements.
  • Underpinning with micropiles was effective in restoring building stability.
