摘要

In recent years, the vulnerability of residential structures in close proximity to other buildings has increased, resulting in significant financial consequences for many projects. To address this emerging concern, a novel physical modeling apparatus was developed to systematically investigate the effects of adjacent building constructions (ABCs). Controlled loading conditions ranging from 10 to 100 kPa were systematically applied to various soils and square mat foundations with widths of 100 and 150 mm. The models were precisely scaled to 1/100 of the actual foundation size. The settlements and tilts caused by these loading scenarios were thoroughly investigated. Furthermore, the experimental design used different clay and sand densities to determine the nuanced results. The empirical results support the proposed device's efficacy in evaluating a wide range of ABC-related parameters. Furthermore, the analytical investigation revealed that the type, compaction, and density of the soil had a significant impact on the response of ABCs. Settlements and tilts in medium sands and medium-compacted clays increased by 7.7, 16.7, 2.8, and 3.1%, respectively, as compared to dense sands and high-compacted clays. These findings highlight the developed device's efficiency in appraising and simulating ABCs under a variety of soil conditions, with a particular emphasis on its ability to assess mat foundations. The use of this device holds great promise for conducting a thorough evaluation of various parameters, thereby improving understanding of soil behavior and proactively mitigating potential casualties and financial losses.
