Abstract:
This paper proposes a new way to strengthen arched buildings with an insufficient bearing capacity of the foundations for the thrust perception. The new method of strengthening the arched buildings can be used in architectural and structural solutions of buildings with zones where it is impossible to place tie-beams traditionally. In the literature there are no research results on this issue. The authors described a new method of strengthening arched buildings. Using a frameless arched structure with an insufficient bearing capacity of the foundations for the thrust as an example, they considered the proposed strengthening method with two options for anchoring the arched building's foundation with tie-beams installed to perceive the thrust to semi-buried and buried anchors. The authors carried out theoretical studies and determined the magnitude of the prestresses in the installed tie-beams to ensure the bearing capacity of the arched building for the variant of asymmetric snow design load. Conclusions. The significance of the obtained results for the construction industry is to propose a method to strengthen arched structures with an insufficient bearing capacity of the foundations for the thrust perception. The proposed method of strengthening is an effective and novel way of increasing the bearing capacity of structures and foundations of arched buildings and can be used in architectural and structural solutions of buildings with zones that impede the traditional placement of tie-beams.

Abstract:
Abstract Nowadays, the environmental assessment becomes more and more of interest as an additional tool for the decision-makers. The researchers in civil engineering focus on building materials, structures as well as whole buildings environmental evaluation. Analysis of the environmental impact of particular structures may be helpful for selecting building materials, with regard to the environmental performance of buildings in the early project phase. The aim of this paper is presentation of an environmental evaluation of the rarely assessed particular structures – building foundations and the analysis of the share of the building foundations to the overall environmental impact of building as well. The obtained data point to the need to include the environmental impacts of foundations when assessing the buildings, because of it is a necessary part of any type of family house. One kilogram of built-in foundations materials was responsible for emissions of 0.092 kg of greenhouse gases expressed by carbon dioxide (CO2). Embodied energy was calculated as equal to 1.14 MJ per 1kg of foundations materials and 832.2 MJ/m2 per building floor area. The foundation materials of houses contributed to the total environmental impact of the whole buildings by, on average, 15.0 and 22.8 % for embodied energy and global warming potential, respectively.

Abstract:
This paper presents the problem of rail transport vibration transmission from the ground to building foundations. Field measurement results of vibration parameters on the ground near buildings and their foundations have been covered in this study. It has been shown that vibrations at the foundation of a building are much smaller than vibrations on the ground. The most intense vibrations on the foundation slab occur in the vertical direction. Comparison with other experimental data on vibration transfer from the ground to buildings structures has been made. The data obtained can be utilized in designing vibration protection measures and to analytically predict vibration effects in buildings. This analysis can be performed after measuring the vibration of rail transport on the ground surface.

The article presents an overview of the foundation deformation limitation for buildings and structures. Information from main research, domestic and international construction codes is given. For high-rise buildings foundations deformation limits evaluation was done by analyzing architectural, technological, and structural requirements for high-rise buildings deformations and an estimation of a probable stochastic component of a non-uniform deformation which is related to statistically non-uniform of base soil. Statistical non-uniformity of base soil was modelled by the use of a simplified deterministic method. Defined criteria for high-rise building foundation deformation limitation can be used in future research.

Abstract:
Because of the Limited urban space and the development of transport, underground space development, especially the metro construction, is vigorously developed in many cities. Subway passing through the existing building inevitably may cause the settlement and deformation of the buildings and their foundations. Therefore, research on the influence of tunneling on existing buildings has important significance. In order to study the influence of tunneling on settlement of existing pile foundations, soil elastic modulus, cohesion, friction angle, tunneling sizes, distance between tunnel opening boundaries and existing pile foundation etc. are discussed as analysis factors in this paper. The calculation schemes are designed based on orthogonal design, and then the influence of tunneling on existing buildings is researched according to the numerical calculation model which is established by the finite element software. Finally, the sensitivity of pile foundation settlement to various factors is analyzed according to the results of simulation analysis. we can draw the conclusions: the influence of tunneling on settlement of existing pile foundation is positively correlated with tunneling sizes, and is negatively correlated with soil parameters and distance between tunnel opening boundaries and existing pile foundations; The settlement of pile foundations can be effectively controlled by application of composite anchor isolation piles around the existing buildings piles, but with the increase of soil parameters and distance between tunnel opening boundaries and existing pile foundations, the strengthening effects are decreased; soil elastic modulus and excavation sizes are the key impact-factors of pile settlement within the distance of 5m between tunneling boundaries and existing pile foundations, which have extremely remarkable effect on the subsidence of pile foundations.

Abstract:
The shrinkage and swelling of clayey soils is a natural hazard, which may significantly affect buildings. Foundation settlement caused by this geohazard for buildings constructed on expansive soils undergoing a drought period was studied. A soil–structure interaction model is proposed. The hydromechanical coupling is taken into account by using the state surface approach. Settlement is evaluated according to building stiffness, ground hydromechanical properties, surface suction variation, suction profile, and foundation depth. The uncertainties are considered by using the Monte Carlo approach, and an application has been performed for the average settlement assessment of a group of buildings. This paper outlines the significant dependency of the final settlement on the building stiffness. It highlights the benefits of rigid buildings and deeper foundations to reduce vulnerability to this geohazard.

Abstract:
Architecture in life is the light of the culture in any society and closely relates with historical, political, economic and social aspects of the society. Persian architecture and building construction should be properly examined from the depths of the history of this ancient land. Persian architecture goes back to six centuries before Christ and it has over 6000 years of continuous history. Since then ever, architecture has been related to various issues, especially religious, and has developed and evolved for centuries. Persian architecture has features that in comparison with other countries are of particular value. Properties such as good design, precise calculations, the correct form of coverage, compliance with technical and scientific issues in the building, high balconies, tall pillars and the various decorations that each of them represent the magnificent of Persian architecture. This study assumes that architecture and building construction are the full manifestation of human culture, and focus on some of the important elements in traditional Persian architecture: windwards, traditional refrigerators and foundations.

Abstract:
Foundation is considered as one of the main parts of any structure such as buildings, railways, bridges, etc. The type of foundation used is highly dependent on the type and properties of soil. The design of foundations requires many factors that should be defined such as the load that the foundation is going to hold, geological conditions of the soil under the foundation, type of soil and the local building code criteria.There are number of differences in the geological and soil conditions in Iraq. As a consequence, these differences are reflected on the type of foundation to be used. Despite these differences, same materials and style of buildings are used all over Iraq. To have good information about the materials and the required design of the foundation, a comprehensive historical review was executed to highlight the progress of the materials and types of foundation that was used since the dawn of civilization up to the present (ancient, Islamic, Ottoman and British occupation till after independent). Present day situation had been analysed through a case study which illustrated the link between soil and foundation types in three different parts of Iraq (Mosul, Baghdad and Basrah). One building was analysed using STAAD. Pro software in these regions. Furthermore, the same building was analysed using local materials, which were historically used and was compared with present day materials used.It is evident that Iraqi designers and engineers require local code to define all the loads, materials and design of the foundation to be used. The use of local materials might be very effective from both engineering and economic perspectives.

Abstract:
Information presented in site investigation reports has a strong influence in design, project costs and safety. For this reason, both the quality and the reliability of site investigation reports are important. However in our country, geotechnical engineering is relegated to second place and site investigation studies, especially parcel-basis ground investigation works
do not receive the attention they deserve. In this study, site investigation reports, that are required for the license of design projects, are examined and the missing/incorrect site investigations, laboratory tests, geotechnical evaluations and geotechnical suggestions that occur in the reports are catalogued. Also, frequency of each mistake is statistically examined
for geotechnical engineers, recommendations and solutions are presented to help them avoid frequent problems.

Full text
Abstract:
In Sweden as well as other countries the trend of building higher is more and more popular. The global stability of tall buildings is a very important aspect that has to be taken into account while designing. Foundation on piles, that is common in Sweden, reduces the global stability compared to foundation directly on bedrock. Using inclined piles in the foundation is inevitable for high-rise buildings, because they are essential for transferring the horizontal loads into the bedrock. The aim of this paper is to look into the influence that foundation on piles has on global stability and investigate two simple methods to asses global stability. In this thesis the influence of the stiffness of the substructure (foundation), length and inclination of the piles on the global stability were investigated. It was also looked into how does the pile center affect the rotation and thus global stability. One method that was presented was based on the equivalent stiffness. Displacement at the top of the wall is used in order to calculate the bending stiffness that is reduced due to foundation on piles and further calculate buckling load on the basis of Euler buckling. In the other method that was proposed rotation at the foundation level was taken into account so as to calculate rotational spring stiffness and later buckling load due to combined flexural and rotational buckling. The analysis was conducted on a simple two dimensional problem, namely stabilizing wall as well as a building stabilized by two towers. Three different configurations of piles were investigated for single wall as well as for the structure. The investigation showed that the position of pile center has its effect on the global stability. The closer the pile center is to the foundation on piles the better the global stability of a  structure. The length of the piles plays a role in stability as well. The longer the piles are the worse the stability is. With longer piles the overall stiffness of a structure decreases and thus the global stability. The analysis showed that the foundation of piles significantly lowers the stability of high rise building. The investigated methods showed that the one based on rotation at the base gave better results compared to the method based on the equivalent bending stiffness. But to use this first method, the position of the pile center is required to be known in order to get correct results which in a complex structure is hard to estimate. In an analysis of a building stabilized by two towers it was seen that when the inclined piles that are inclined opposite to each other in a pile group and are positioned far from rotation center of a structure it increases the global safety and rotational stiffness as well. It is recommended to use such configuration of piles that the pile center is at the foundation level in order to increase global stability.
I Sverige och andra länder är trenden att bygga högre alltmer populärt. Den globala stabiliteten hos höga byggnader är en viktig aspekt som måste beaktas vid byggnadens utformning. Den vanligaste grundläggningsmetoden i Sverige är grundläggning med pålar. Denna typ av grundläggning minskar den globala stabiliteten jämfört med grundläggning direkt på berggrunden. Att använda sneda pålar i grundläggningen är oundviklig för höghus, eftersom de är nödvändiga för att överföra horisontella laster till berggrunden. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att se hur grundläggning på pålar påverkar den globala stabiliteten och undersöka två enkla metoder för global stabilitet. I detta examensarbete undersöktes hur styvheten påverkar grundläggning med pålar med olika längder och lutningar, med hänseende på den globala stabiliteten. Pålcentrumets påverkan av rotation och den globala stabiliteten har även studerats. En metod som presenterades i examensarbetet är baserades på ekvivalent styvhet. Där utböjning på toppen av väggen togs för att beräkna böjstyvheten som reduceras på grund av grundläggning med pålar och ytterligare beräknades knäcklasten baserat på Eulers knäckning. I den andra metoden som föreslogs togs rotationen vid grundläggningsnivån med i beräkningen för att beräkna rotationsfjäderns styvhet och senare knäckningslasten på grund av kombinerad böjnings- och rotationsknäckning. Analysen genomfördes på en enkel tvådimensionell vägg och en tredimensionell byggnad som är stabiliserad av två torn. Tre olika konfigurationer av pålar undersöktes för enkel vägg och även för byggnaden Utredningen av examensarbetet visade att positionen av pålcentrum har en stor påverkan på den globala stabiliteten. Ju närmare pålcentrumet är till grundläggningsnivån desto bättre är den globala stabiliteten hos en konstruktion. Längden på pålarna har även en betydelse när det gäller stabiliteten. Ju längre pålarna är desto värre blir stabiliteten. Med längre pålar minskar den totala styvheten hos hela konstruktionen och därmed minskar även den globala stabiliteten. Utredningen visade även att metoden med rotation vid grundläggningsnivån gav mer noggrannare resultat än metoden för ekvivalent styvhet. Men för att kunna använda den förstnämnda metoden behöver man ha kännedom om vart pålcentrum ligger för konstruktionen och detta kan vara svårt att uppskatta. I en analys av en byggnad stabiliserad av två torn visades det att när pålarna är placerade långt från rotationscentrum av en konstruktion ökar den globala säkerheten och rotationsstyvheten. Det rekommenderas att använda sådan konfiguration av pålar att pålcentrum ligger på grundnivå för att öka den globala stabiliteten.

Abstract:
The Canterbury Earthquakes of 2010-2011, in particular the 4th September 2010 Darfield earthquake and the 22nd February 2011 Christchurch earthquake, produced severe and widespread liquefaction in Christchurch and surrounding areas. The scale of the liquefaction was unprecedented, and caused extensive damage to a variety of man-made structures, including residential houses. Around 20,000 residential houses suffered serious damage as a direct result of the effects of liquefaction, and this resulted in approximately 7000 houses in the worst-hit areas being abandoned. Despite the good performance of light timber-framed houses under the inertial loads of the earthquake, these structures could not withstand the large loads and deformations associated with liquefaction, resulting in significant damage. The key structural component of houses subjected to liquefaction effects was found to be their foundations, as these are in direct contact with the ground. The performance of house foundations directly influenced the performance of the structure as a whole. Because of this, and due to the lack of research in this area, it was decided to investigate the performance of houses and in particular their foundations when subjected to the effects of liquefaction. The data from the inspections of approximately 500 houses conducted by a University of Canterbury summer research team following the 4th September 2010 earthquake in the worst-hit areas of Christchurch were analysed to determine the general performance of residential houses when subjected to high liquefaction loads. This was followed by the detailed inspection of around 170 houses with four different foundation types common to Christchurch and New Zealand: Concrete perimeter with short piers constructed to NZS3604, concrete slab-on-grade also to NZS3604, RibRaft slabs designed by Firth Industries and driven pile foundations. With a focus on foundations, floor levels and slopes were measured, and the damage to all areas of the house and property were recorded. Seven invasive inspections were also conducted on houses being demolished, to examine in more detail the deformation modes and the causes of damage in severely affected houses. The simplified modelling of concrete perimeter sections subjected to a variety of liquefaction-related scenarios was also performed, to examine the comparative performance of foundations built in different periods, and the loads generated under various bearing loss and lateral spreading cases. It was found that the level of foundation damage is directly related to the level of liquefaction experienced, and that foundation damage and liquefaction severity in turn influence the performance of the superstructure. Concrete perimeter foundations were found to have performed most poorly, suffering high local floor slopes and being likely to require foundation repairs even when liquefaction was low enough that no surface ejecta was seen. This was due to their weak, flexible foundation structure, which cannot withstand liquefaction loads without deforming. The vulnerability of concrete perimeter foundations was confirmed through modelling. Slab-on-grade foundations performed better, and were unlikely to require repairs at low levels of liquefaction. Ribraft and piled foundations performed the best, with repairs unlikely up to moderate levels of liquefaction. However, all foundation types were susceptible to significant damage at higher levels of liquefaction, with maximum differential settlements of 474mm, 202mm, 182mm and 250mm found for concrete perimeter, slab-on-grade, ribraft and piled foundations respectively when subjected to significant lateral spreading, the most severe loading scenario caused by liquefaction. It was found through the analysis of the data that the type of exterior wall cladding, either heavy or light, and the number of storeys, did not affect the performance of foundations. This was also shown through modelling for concrete perimeter foundations, and is due to the increased foundation strengths provided for heavily cladded and two-storey houses. Heavy roof claddings were found to increase the demands on foundations, worsening their performance. Pre-1930 concrete perimeter foundations were also found to be very vulnerable to damage under liquefaction loads, due to their weak and brittle construction.

Abstract:
A transient three-dimensional numerical model is developed to model the performance of thermoactive foundations used to heat and cool commercial buildings. Using laboratory testing data, the numerical model is validated and used to carry out a sensitivity analysis to assess the most important design and operating parameters that affect the performance of thermoactive foundations. It is found that the foundation depth, the shank space, the fluid flow rate, and the number of U-tube loops in each foundation pile are the main parameters that affect the thermal performance of a thermoactive foundation system. Based on the validated numerical model, thermal response factors for a thermoactive foundation are developed, and implemented into a detailed building energy simulation program. These thermal-response factors are then used to estimate the impact of installing thermoactive foundations on the total energy use of typical office buildings in various US climates.

Abstract:
During the reconstruction old, often historical heritage, buildings are changing their working conditions. Therefore, in most cases the foundations need to be strengthened. One of the reasons is, because the actions on foundations are changing. Other reason is building state for the foundations deformation. Foundation bearing capacity can be increased by strengthening the foundation ground or changing of the foundation construction. Reliable and effective method of strengthening is to use the jacked piles. This method must be assessed in the two approaches. One is the influence on building structures and foundations during installation, the other, relationship between piles and foundation after reconstruction. In the article is given simulation of the actions on foundation during reconstruction and load distribution between the foundation and piles. It also assesses influence of the piles stiffness on load distribution between the strengthened foundation and piles.

Abstract:
A transient three-dimensional finite difference numerical model was developed for the analysis of thermo-active foundations. The numerical model predictions were validated against experimental data obtained from laboratory testing. Using the validated 3D numerical model, a series of parameter sensitivity analyses was performed. It was found that the foundation depth, the shank space, the fluid flow rate, and thermal conductivity of ground and concrete affected the thermal performance of a thermo-active foundation system. Moreover, utilizing the numerical model, thermal response factors for thermo-active foundations were developed and implemented into a whole building energy simulation program. The thermal-response factor method was then used to estimate the effects of thermo-active foundations to reduce the energy consumption needed to condition commercial buildings.

Abstract:
Rising cost pressures and the prospect of quick returns have led to an increase in mono functional buildings since the 1970s. These prevent the adaptation to changing user requirements with little monetary outlay. Lack of marketability, increasing vacancy and early demolition are often the consequences. Main objective of the AIF/FOSTA research project P1118 is to develop planning recommendations for multifunctional usable buildings. Adaptability to changing needs will increase marketability and value stability as well as extend the lifetime of the buildings. This not only increases the economy but also the resource efficiency. First of all, the paper explains the ecological and economic requirements for modern buildings, which are based on current certification systems. In this context, the expected lifetime of primary and secondary building components are also dealt with. Subsequently, relevant types of use as well as requirements for essential building parameters are presented. In a comparison, the ecological expenses and costs are assessed for four selected composite structures. For the multifunctional building structures an extension of lifetime is considered and the environmental and monetary impacts are assessed. Furthermore, the influence of the structure on the building foundations is analysed. The investigations present the effects of the building masses on the foundations for two different soil conditions. Finally, the investigations show that variable usable buildings with a longer lifetime lead to a better sustainability.

Abstract:
Abstract In this paper the effects of moisture on the heat transfer from two basic types of building foundations, a slab-on-grade and a basement, are examined. A two-dimensional finite element heat and moisture transfer program is used to show the effects of precipitation, soil type, foundation insulation, water table depth, and freezing on the heat transfer from the building foundation. Comparisons are made with a simple heat conduction model to illustrate the dependency of the soil thermal conductivity on moisture content.
