Underground construction activities, such as tunnelling, cause local ground movements to occur. Nearby surface structures interact with the moving ground, potentially leading to building damage. Although it is understood that the severity of building damage is influenced by the f ...
The current article presents a case study of the settlement response of the historic Hoca Pasha Mosque that involves uncertainties arising from the complex excavation activities, soil properties, building materials, and geometry and the presence of pre-existing cracks in the mosq ...
In this paper, limiting tensile strain method (LTSM) is reviewed, and advantages and disadvantages resulted from the simplicity of this method are examined in the light of the findings of the existing experimental and numerical studies. Using the viewpoint of the transfer functio ...
This paper presents a finite element simulation of the response of the historic Hoca Pasha Mosque in Istanbul to ground settlements stemming from a neighboring shaft excavation. The focus is on the behavior of major existing cracks. A linear elastic material model is adopted for ...
