    GROUND-MOVEMENT-RELATED BUILDING DAMAGE By Storer J. Boone,' Member, ASCE. Apsmmact: A concept for evaluation of building damage resulting from differential ground movement is resented in this paper. The concept is intended asa first-order method for damage astessment and re round movement profile geometry, structure geometry and design, strain superposition, and critical stains of building materials. Means for estimating the degree of damage are presented in this paper so that the ground ‘movement effects on third-party properties resulting from adjacent constuction can be quickly and rationally priosized. Priortzing structure evaluations according to this first-order damage assessment method allows Setaled evaluations to be focused on those structures tht appear to be most susceptible to moderate or severe Using the methods described in this paper, 20 case histories are examined, producing 43 separate ‘evaluations, and the resulls compare favorably with actual damage observations INTRODUCTION Settlement or heave of structures, whether from nearby con- struction or other causes, can result in noticeable damage. Usu- ally the most settlement sensitive buildings are those with ma- sonry-load-bearing walls or frames with masonry infill walls. In reference to tunneling, it has been stated that"... the tun- nel owner must catalog all third-party impacts and make an honest effort to prioritize them in terms of risk to the third party and the project” (Brietley 1988). For large urban con- struction projects that impact many structures, various levels of evaluation are needed to prioritize damage risks. Intensive ‘evaluations for each structure that might be impacted by con- struction becomes both impractical and uneconomical for tun- neling or large open-cut excavations. Often, a simple and con- servative method is required in the first round of assessments to narrow detailed studies to those structures that are judged to be critical GROUND MOVEMENT AND DAMAGE. CRITERIA—BACKGROUND ast work addressing the subject of settlement damage cxi- teria can be generally categorized into three basic approaches. ‘The first, oF empirical approach, is based on compilation of cease histories and development of empirical relationships be- tween damage and readily measurable or defined case data. ‘The second approach considers structural engineering princi- ples to arrive at relationships that define tolerable seitlement Timits based on select building dimensions and material prop- erties, and often compares the resulting limitations to case his- tories, Methods included in the third category, which will not be considered further in this paper, have been discussed in detail by Attewell et al. (1986) and include variations on the ‘Winkler ground model combined with structure matrix stiff- ness formulations, or the kinematic computer model BRIKIN discussed by New and O'Reilly (1991). Empirical Relationships In Skempton and MacDonald (1956) ““The Allowable Set- tlements of Buildings," 98 case histories were reviewed to identify a basis on which to determine allowable total and differential foundation settlement.

Paper No. 10867, 1800 / JOURNAL OF GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING / NOVEMBER 1096 stated "... the settlement characteristic causing cracking is probably the radius of curvature. But a characteristic which is ‘more readily evaluated, and which is only slightly less logical, is the angular distortion; this conveniently expressed by the ratio ofthe differential setdement 8 and the distance / between {wo points.” A preliminary limit of angular distortion of less than 1/300 was recommended for load-bearing walls or ma- sonry infill panels in traditional frame buildings.
