Abstract
Predicting building damage due to ground movements caused by excavations is an important
design consideration when building in a congested urban environment. Current predictive
approaches range from empirical methods to detailed finite element calculations. Limitations
inherent in the simpler of these models preclude them from accurately predicting damage in
cases where important assumptions are invalid. A new simple model for representing buildings
is presented to allow a designer to make realistic simplifications to a building system that is
consistent with major features of the structure so that the response to ground movements can be
adequately represented. This model assumes that the floors restrain bending deformations and
the walls, whether load bearing or in-fill between columns, resist shear deformations. Closed-
form equations are presented that relate bending and shear stiffness to normalized deflection
ratios. The proposed model is shown to adequately represent the response of a three-story
framed structure which was affected by an adjacent deep excavation. The proposed model
represents a reasonable compromise between overly simplistic empirical methods and complex,
burdensome detailed analyses.
INTRODUCTION
Damage to buildings adjacent to excavations can be a major design consideration when
constructing facilities in congested urban areas. As new buildings are constructed, the
excavations required for basements affect nearby existing buildings, especially those founded on
shallow foundations. Often excavation support system design must prevent any damage to
adjacent structures or balance the cost of a stiffer support system with the cost of repairing
damage to the affected structures. In either case, it is necessary to predict the level of ground
movements that will induce damage to a structure. Practically speaking, a designer is attempting
to limit/prevent damage to the architectural details of a building, which occurs prior to structural
damage.

A number of methods found in literature relate building damage to associated ground
movements. Several of these methods are based on movements caused by settlements of a
structure due to its own weight, and do not consider the deformations that may occur as a result
of a nearby excavation. Other methods do attempt to account for the additional modes of
deformation, but are limited in their ability to adequately represent the affected structure. The
purpose of this paper is to present a laminate beam method of evaluating potential building
damage due to excavation-induced ground movements. This method avoids oversimplification
common in current empirical methods, yet is not as computationally burdensome as a detailed
finite element analysis. Published criteria applicable to excavation-induced building damage are
reviewed and compared to the laminate beam method. In addition, assessments of damage
potential as determined by both the existing and proposed methods are compared to detailed
records of damage to a three-story framed structure.
BACKGROUND
Definition of terms
Figure 1 shows a sketch of a hypothetical settlement profile. The settlement of any point i is
denoted as ρ
i
. Differential settlement between two points, i and j, is given the symbol δ
ij
. The
distance between two points i and j is denoted ℓ
ij
. Distortion between two points, i and j, is
defined as δ
ij
/ℓ
ij
, and is not explicitly shown on the figure. A concave-up deformation is called
“sagging,” while a concave-down deformation is called “hogging.” An inflection point, D,
separates two modes of deformation. The length of a particular mode of deformation, bounded
by either the ends of a building or inflection points of the settlement profile, is denoted L. The
average slope, m, of a specific mode of deformation is defined as δ
kl
/L
kl,
where the subscripts k
and l are boundaries of the mode of deformation. This slope differs from the distortion, δ
ij
/ℓ
ij
,
which is the ratio for two adjacent points. The relative settlement of each mode, ∆, is the
maximum deviation from the average slope of a particular deformation mode. The deflection
ratio, ∆/L, not explicitly shown, is the ratio of the relative settlement to the length of the
deflected part. This term will be used herein as a measure of the ground deformation profile
when evaluating damage predictions.

Rigid body rotation of the building, ω, is the tilt of the building and causes no stresses or
strains in the building. Angular distortion, β, is the difference between distortion, δ
ij
/ℓ
ij
, and rigid
body rotation, ω. When multiple modes of deformation occur in a building, i.e., when the slope,
m, of each portion is not equal to ω, additional shearing strains, γ
add
, arise from the difference
between the rigid body rotation and the slope and must be considered when computing strains.
This point will be illustrated in more detail later.
The critical tensile strain, ε
crit.
, the strain at which cracking becomes evident, may vary
significantly from one material to another. Tensile strains, ε
t
, can be caused by bending, ε
b
,
diagonal tension due to shear, ε
d
, or horizontal extension, ε
h
, caused by lateral extension of the
building due to lateral movement in the soil mass below the footings. If multiple modes of
deformation are superposed, these components can be combined in a Mohr circle of strain to
determine the maximum principal tensile strain, ε
p
. Critical strains that cause failure in common
building materials vary widely as a function of material and mode of deformation, as
summarized by Boone (1996).
Criteria to evaluate excavation-induced damage
Selected criteria that are applicable to evaluate excavation-induced damage are summarized in
Table 1, wherein the relevant parameter and its limiting value are shown. Note that the
parameter used to relate structural movements at the foundation level to damage depends on the
method. Deep beam methods are more general than empirical methods (e.g., Skempton and
McDonald 1956 and Polshin and Tolkar 1957) which were limited to damage of structures based
on settlements arising from the weight of the structure.
Burland and Wroth (1975) modeled a building as a deep isotropic beam to relate strains in the
building to the imposed deformations. Tensile strain served as the limiting criterion for visible
crack development when used with an elastic analysis of the building. They suggested that for
sagging type deformations, the neutral axis is located at the middle of the beam. For hogging
type deformations, the foundation and soil provide significant restraint to deformations. In the
3
limit, the bottom of the beam does not deform, in effect moving the neutral axis to its bottom.
Equations for limiting ∆/L were written in terms of maximum bending strain and maximum
diagonal tensile strain for a linear elastic beam with a Poisson’s ratio, ν, of 0.3 subjected to a
point load with the neutral axis at either the center or bottom of the beam. The effects of a
building that is not adequately represented by an isotropic elastic beam are accounted for by
varying the ratio of Young’s modulus, E, to shear modulus, G, for the beam, depending on the
type of structure. They postulated that for buildings with significant tensile restraint, or very
flexible in shear (i.e. frame buildings), an E/G ratio greater than the theoretical value of 2.6
would be appropriate, and recommended that the value be taken as 12.5. However, for buildings
that have little or no tensile restraint (i.e. traditional masonry buildings), they recommended that
the E/G ratio should be reduced to 0.5.
Voss (2002) extended the Burland and Wroth (1975) equations to allow explicit input of E/G
and location of the neutral axis, resulting in the following equations that relate limiting ∆/L to
bending strain at the top, ε
b(top)
, and bottom of a beam, ε
b(bottom)
,
and the maximum diagonal
tensile strain, ε

where H and L are the height and length of a beam, respectively, λ is the ratio of the distance
from the neutral axis to the bottom on the beam to its height, and α is the ratio of the of
maximum shear stress to average shear stress – equal to 3/2 for a rectangular beam.
Based on eqs. (1)-(3), Figure 2 shows the effects of different E/G ratios and neutral axis
4
locations on the conditions required for initial cracking. In this figure, the kink in a curve
represents the limit between shear critical and bending critical geometries of a beam. With the
exception of flexible structures (E/G ≥ 12.5) and structures with small L/H ratios, bending strains
are more critical. These results also show that the limiting deflection ratio that causes cracks
varies over wide limits, implying that structural details must be considered when establishing
criteria. However, it is difficult to provide guidance on the selection of the beam characteristic
parameter E/G and the neutral axis location, especially when developing a deep beam model for
a multi-story structure.
Boscardin and Cording (1989) extended this deep beam model to include horizontal extension
strains, ε
h
, caused by lateral ground movements induced by adjacent excavation and tunneling
activities. A chart relating β and ε
h
to levels of damage was developed for buildings with brick,
load-bearing walls and an L/H ratio of 1 undergoing a hogging deformation with the neutral axis
at the bottom. Similar to Burland and Wroth (1975), the building is idealized as a linear elastic
beam with υ equal to 0.3. Direct transfer of horizontal ground strain to the structure is assumed
in this approach. However, when the ground displaces laterally, relative slip will occur at the
foundation level, and the horizontal displacement in the building will be less than that in the
ground (Geddes 1977, 1991). Thus, this approach represents an upper bound of the effects of
horizontal ground strain. Many modern buildings are well-reinforced laterally by stiff floor
systems, which essentially eliminate lateral movements at the foundation level in presence of
lateral ground movements (e.g., Finno and Bryson 2002).
Boone (1996) presented a more detailed approach to evaluate building damage due to
differential ground movement caused by adjacent construction. This method considers structure
geometry and design, strain superposition and critical strains of building materials. Load bearing
walls are modeled as uniformly-loaded, simple-supported beams. Damage to frame buildings is
assumed to occur from differential vertical movements of columns, depending on the column’s
tilt and degree of fixity. Damage to infill walls is presumed to occur as a result of the deformed
shape of the surrounding beams and columns. If a structure is subjected to horizontal extension,
then these strains are superposed on the ones caused by bending and shear.
