The influence of tunnelling on buildings has become an important issue in urban areas. The problem is an interactive one: not only do tunnelling settlements affect existing structures, but existing structures affect tunnel-induced soil movements. In order to examine the constraint of surface settlement and the degradation of building damage parameters, 3-dimensional elasto-plastic finite element analyses are peformed. Also, in this paper, the results of the parametric studies for the variations of the damage parameters due to the ground movements are presented by utilizing 2-dimensional elasto-plastic finite element models, totally 162 models. The width of a structure, its bending and axial stiffness, its position relative to the tunnel and the depth of tunnel are considered. The interaction is shown by reference to commonly-used building damage parameters, namely angular distortion, deflection ratio, maximum building settlements, maximum differential settlements and horizontal strain. By introducing relative stiffness parameters which combine the bending and axial stiffness of the structure with its width and stiffness of soil, design curves are established. These give a guide as to the likely modification of the greenfield settlement trough caused by a surface structure. They can be used to give initial estimates of likely building damage.

Rocket Plumes can cause serious damage to launch vehicles and adjacent structures. This paper describes the impact of an adjacent structure by a rocket plume. Each parameter related with dynamic behavior of a missile is modeled with probabilistic distributions of variables. Flyout analyses of initial behavior of a vertically launched missile are performed using Monte-Carlo simulation and flow-motion analyses were conducted by using CFD. In this way, when a missile is fired by a ship, the impact of an adjacent structure by a rocket plume was analyzed.

In this study, a fundamental-level study was performed to establish knowledge-base for the development of optimal surface-wave method for urban areas with adjacent structures. First, theoretical modelling was performed to investigate the influence of adjacent structures on dispersion characteristics of surface waves. Later, the geotechnical sites with a concrete model of adjacent structure and a real subway box structure were tested by surface-wave method to investigate the influence of adjacent structures. The major influencing factors of adjacent structures on surface-wave propagation were direct distance between measurement array and adjacent structure, stiffness contrast between layers and type of seismic source.

In recently, the vibration control of adjacent buildings have been studied and magneto-rheological(MR) fluid dampers have been applied to seismic response control. MR dampers can be controlled with small power supplies and the dynamic range of this damping force is quite large. This MR damper is one of semi-active dampers as a new class of smart dampers. In this study, vibration control effect according to the installation location of the MR damper connected adjacent buildings has been investigated. Adjacent building structures with different natural frequencies were used as example structures. Groundhook control model is applied to determinate control force of MR damper. In this numerical analysis, it has been shown that displacement responses can be effectively controlled as adjacent buildings are connected at roof floors by MR damper. And acceleration responses can be effectively reduced when two buildings are connected at the mid-stories of adjacent buildings by MR damper. Therefore, the installation floor of the MR damper should be selected with seismic response control target.

Recently, large and deep excavations are increasing. The damage of adjacent structures due to excavation has steadily increased with increasing construction demand. Especially in urban development and poor conditions, the excavation adjacent to the subway structures has caused a lot of problems. This paper was reviewed that the underground excavation and reinforcement of the status process through a case study on the field. And stability analysis through the case study evaluates applicability for reasonable reinforcement method by numerical analysis. As a result, the strata distribution condition of all 16 sites consisted of landfill from the top and distributed in the order of deposits, weathered soils, weak rock from the bottom. Also, when proceeding the excavation adjacent to structures, the location of site and layer conditions have highly effect on the results of the construction. Therefore, this study was applied reinforcement method to protect damage by excavation. Displacement and settlement were within allowable criterion and hence, stability of structure was analyzed as safe.

Recently, earthquakes have occurred near Gyeongju and Pohang and the social demands are thus being increased for seismic analysis of tall buildings and their adjacent underground structure in big cities. Since most of the previous seismic analysis studies considered a tall building and an adjacent underground structure separately, however, they lack the analysis on dynamic mutual behavior between two structures. Therefore, in this study, a dynamic analysis with a full soil-structure interaction was performed for a complex underground facility with a tall building and an adjacent underground structure constructed on the bedrock with a surface layer. To improve the reliability, in particular, a pseudo-static analysis was performed and compared with the dynamic analysis results. It is comprehensively concluded that the analysis of adjacent underground structures being considered is more conservative than that of not considered.

It comes to be an important point to judge precisely the effects of excavation on adjacent ground and structures. It is incorrect to evaluate the ground settlement by excavation without considering the adjacent structure. In this study, laboratory scale tests were carried out by varying the position of structure under the condition of different system stiffness and wall friction to evaluate the behavior of adjacent structures and ground by excavation. When the distance between the structures and the wall was less than 0.3 times of the excavation depth, the ground settlement increased by 181%. No additional effect was observed when the distance was more than 1.0H. As the embedded depth was deeper, the influence zone was smaller, and few additional settlements and angular displacement were observed when the embedded depth was more than 0.75H.

Up to now, most of studies on seismic analysis have been limited to analyze buildings and underground structures individually so that the interaction between them could not be analyzed effectively. Thus, in this study, a dynamic analysis was conducted for soil-structure interaction with a complex underground facility composed of a building and an adjacent underground structure constructed on a surface soil and the bed rock ground conditions. Seismic stability was analyzed based on interstory drift ratio and bending stress of structure members. As a result, an underground structure has more effect on a high-rise building than a low-rise building. However the above structures were proved to be favorable for seismic stability. On the other hand, tensile bending stresses exceeded the allowable value at the underground part of the building and the adjacent underground structure so that it turned out that the underground part could be weaker than the above part. Therefore, it is inferred that above and underground structures should be analyzed simultaneously for better prediction of their interaction behavior during seismic analyses because there exist various structures around buildings in big cities.

In this study, a comprehensive management plan was proposed to ensure the stability of the existing subway when constructing ground structures adjacent to the subway. In the first step, the measurement inspection cycle is selected through proximity evaluation, in the second step, the stability of existing subway and station structures such as displacement and stress is reviewed through 3D numerical analysis considering the construction stage and groundwater influence, and in the third stage, the safety of train operation was reviewed by examining the track stability, and based on the numerical analysis results in the fourth stage, the displacement concentration section was selected as an intensive management section and it was proposed that intensive measurement management be performed.
