Background
Ground movements caused by construction activities such as basement excavation or tunnelling have the potential to cause damage to neighbouring structures or services.
CIRIA’s new guidance Assessing the impacts of construction-induced ground movement on framed buildings(C796) identifies the principal sources of ground movements and the techniques to predict them using empirical and analytical methods.
The guidance provides information on commonly adopted measures to control ground movements from initial design through to construction, including temporary works. It also outlines permissible movement for different structure types dependent on their condition and structural characteristics, and how this might be achieved by monitoring.
Join us at this webinar to get the inside track on the framework for assessing impacts to modern steel and reinforced concrete frame structures, and hear a case study showing good practice successfully implemented.
