RISStructural Response of Multistory RC Buildings to Excavation of a Disposal Well
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Soakaway disposal wells are used heavily in Sudan for on-site sanitation systems. These wells have a diameter of 1.5–2.0 m, a depth ranging from 10 to 35 m, and postinstalled brick walls. They often are ...
Assessment of the Posttunneling Safety Factor of Piles under Drained Soil Conditions
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The need to tunnel closely beneath piles is increasing due to the development of urban areas. This poses a risk to the stability and serviceability of overlying structures (e.g., buildings, piers, and piled embankments). ...
Centrifuge Modeling Study of the Response of Piled Structures to Tunneling
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Tunneling beneath piled structures may compromise the stability and serviceability of the structure. The assessment of potential structure damage is a problem being faced by engineers across the globe. This paper presents ...
Centrifuge and Real-Time Hybrid Testing of Tunneling beneath Piles and Piled Buildings
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Tunnels are constructed increasingly close to existing buried structures, including pile foundations. This poses serious concerns, especially for tunnels built beneath piles. Current understanding of the global ...
Elastoplastic Solutions to Predict Tunneling-Induced Load Redistribution and Deformation of Surface Structures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, an elastoplastic two-stage analysis method is proposed to model tunneling-induced soil-structure interaction and incorporated into a computer program called Analysis of Structural Response to Excavation ...
Response of Framed Buildings on Raft Foundations to Tunneling
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper investigates the response of framed buildings on raft foundations to tunnel construction using geotechnical centrifuge testing. Five framed building models were considered, and the influence of building ...
Method for Probabilistic Assessment of Tunneling-Induced Damage to Surface Structures Considering Soil-Structure Interaction Effects
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A new method is presented to quantify the uncertainty in early-stage assessment of surface structure damage caused by tunneling-induced ground movements. The method employs the Monte Carlo simulation technique and a numerical ...
Building Deformation Caused by Tunneling: Centrifuge Modeling
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper investigates the deformation of buildings due to tunneling-induced soil displacements. Centrifuge model tests of three-dimensionally (3D) printed building models subject to a plane-strain tunnel excavation in ...
Cracked Equivalent Beam Models for Assessing Tunneling-Induced Damage in Masonry Buildings
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper proposes simple numerical models that simulate the influence of tunneling-induced ground movements on masonry buildings founded on shallow strip footings. The focus is on developing an improved understanding of ...
