About the Book

The static behaviour of buildings is considerably influenced by the interaction between soil, foundation and construction. This book provides assistance in determining the deformations caused by the building and by other imposed loads. Approximate methods for hand calculation as well as more exact mathematical methods for computation are presented. Three PC programmes are also shown. In Section 1 the importance of interaction between subsoil and construction, together with relevant theories, is reviewed, accompanied with a long list of pertinent literature. Section 2 reminds the reader about soil mechanics and introduces information about the determination of ground surface movements occurring in nature without the effect of a superimposed structure. Section 3 deals with the rigidity of buildings, their adaptive capacity to deformations, and peruses questions about safety of buildings. In Section 4 computerized calculation methods are presented. In Section 5 approximative calculation methods are recommended for practice. Case histories are described in Section 6. Various guiding tables and three computer programs are presented in Section 7. Each section is designed so as to be capable of use independently. The book is intended for structural engineers.
