Numerical Analysis of Settling of Foundations of Heightened Buildings by the Modulus-Free Method

详细

We analyze the existing methods aimed at the evaluation of settlements of the buildings and structures and propose a modulus-free method for the evaluation of settlements of the foundations, which enables us to take into account local variations of the compressibility and stressed sate of the soils of foundations caused by the natural and anthropogenic factors. The application of the proposed procedure for the evaluation of additional settlements of the foundations of heightened buildings revealed its acceptable reliability confirmed by the results of theoretical and experimental investigations.
