Overview

Geotechnical Special Publication No 84. Whenever a new construction project begins near existing structures, there should be concern for the well-being of nearby structures and their occupants. Over time, construction activities can induce permanent settlement or heave, cracking, changes in water table elevations and damage to services in existing structures. In addition, temporary disruptions due to noise, vibration, dust, and limited access can cause irritations to neighboring occupants. This book is intended for designers and builders engaged in projects located in developed areas. Papers focus on predicting, monitoring, evaluating settlements induced by construction and excavation, monitoring construction vibrations, building response due to construction, and methods to diminish the potential impact of ground movements. Topics include displacements due to tunneling, heave and settlement due to pile driving, and compaction grouting as a means to solve construction problems.
