Construction cost of tunnel form buildings
نویسندگان
چکیده
A residential building with a lateral load resisting system, adopted as a reference example, is considered in the paper. The system is made of shear walls realized using the tunnel form technology. The building is modelled for a varying number of floors, and the model is also used to consider the applicability of the technology with regard to construction costs. The influence of the type of soil on construction costs is also considered. The results obtain show that mistakes made in determining the soil class may lead to inadequate decisions during selection of the most favourable number of floors, and in the design of structural elements and foundations of buildings.

Assessment of Tunnel Excavation on Surface Settlement
The expansion of underground structures is important in urban areas with high population density. In most large cities in the world, urban development is spreading along the structures. These structures are generally located at shallow depth; therefore study of shallow tunnels in urban areas is critical for development. During the excavation of tunnels in urban areas, creating the asymmetric se...

متن کاملDynamic Risk Assessment in Construction Projects Using Bayesian Networks
This paper presents a systemic Bayesian network (BN) based approach for dynamic risk assessment for adjacent buildings in tunnel construction. This approach consists of four steps in detail, namely, hazard analysis, BN learning and BN-based risk analysis. In the dynamic risk analysis framework, the predictive, sensitivity and diagnostic analysis techniques in the Bayesian inference are used to ...
