Abstract: This paper presents a simplified model for evaluating damage potential of a building adjacent to a braced excavation. New developments include several component models for estimating the lateral ground movement profile, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a framework for a fully probabilistic analysis of the potential for damage to buildings adjacent to an excavation. Herein, the damage potential index (DPI), which is a function of angular distortion and ...

Abstract: In this paper, the excavation-induced settlement determined by the KJHH model, a recently developed semiempirical model, is used to assess the serviceability reliability of adjacent buildings. The calculated settlement, ...
