Safety against settling for the near by dykes as the consequence of the office building

Abstract

     Nowadays, the appearance of multistory buildings is an inevitable consequence as a result of the increase in the urban population, the lack of land for houses and the rise in the land's price. However, when a building is constructed, the impact of its load to the foundation might lead to the settlement or heave of near by structures. In general, the further the distance of the nearby structures, the less the influence of the increase deformation affect and when this distance keeps increasing to a certain limitation, this influence is almost zero. This paper uses Plaxis 2D software to calculate the deformation of the foundation for a multistory building located at 12 Tran Quang Khai and its impact to the deformation of Huu Hong dyke.
