Prediction of damage tomasonry buildings caused by subsoil settlements
article
The main parameters in this problem are: the constituency and properties of the subsoil; the geometry of the building and its foundations; the mechanical properties of the building materials and; the magnitude and variation of the changes in groundwater level. This paper presents a fundamental approach to determine the interaction between structure and subsoil due to the dead weight of the structure and changes in groundwater level. The approach is suitable for all kinds of structures, foundations and subsoil and can be used for all kinds of settlement and stress distribution formulas. In this paper the procedure has been worked out in detail for the case of a terrace of houses with footing foundations.
