ABSTRACT

In this paper, the behaviour of framed buildings on individual footings in terms of horizontal strains induced by tunnelling and deep excavations is examined. The first part of the paper presents a case study of two rows of shop houses that were subjected to the effects of bored tunnelling-this is the same site in Goh & Mair (2010) except that this paper focuses on the horizontal strain response in the framed buildings whilst the previous paper focused only on the settlement behaviour. For completeness, a summary of the settlement behaviour is also given in this paper.
