3D response of an excavation adjacent to buildings supported by inclined strutsSabzi, Zahra (Avtor) Fakher, Ali (Avtor) , Fakulteta za gradbeništvo, prometno inženirstvo in arhitekturo Univerze v Mariboru (Lastnik avtorskih pravic) measurement3D finite-element analysisdisplacement-based designThe presented study focuses on field observations and a 3D numerical analysis of open-cut excavations adjacent to a building supported by inclined struts. The performance of the struts in carrying the building loads and decreasing the deflections is investigated. Struts reduce the amount of deformations and also create a corner effect similar to the diaphragm walls corner. The influence of the distance between the struts is studied and the optimum struts interval is proposed. The most effective configuration of struts installation in reducing the deflections and building damage is proposed. A displacement-based design guideline is also presented based on the results of numerical studies.20172018-06-18 09:52:11Znanstveno delo70884ISSN: 1854-0171OceCobissID: 215987712COBISS_ID: 302976768ISSN pri članku: 1854-0171NUK URN: URN:SI:UM:DK:LIYXWKXOslFakulteta za gradbeništvo, prometno inženirstvo in arhitekturo Univerze v Mariboru
