Experimental Analysis of Lateral Displacement of Reinforced Concrete Diaphragm Wall in High-Rise Buildings Constructed Using the Top-Down Method

Abstract

In this study, the analysis and evaluation of the experimental results measuring the lateral displacement of diaphragm walls using the Inclinometer method to determine the displacement of the retaining walls in the B7 - B10 Kim Liên apartment project, Dong Da District, Hanoi. The experimental results are analyzed and compared with numerical simulations using Plaxis 3D software with the Hardening Soil mathematical model. The calculation results show a reasonable correlation with the observed data, indicating that we can be used to analyze and assess the impact of floor stiffness on the displacement of reinforced concrete diaphragm walls constructed using the Top-Down method.
