Effects of Maintaining a Building Constructed in the IMS System (Žeželj) with an Approximate Analysis of Hydrodynamical Shock and the Analogy with Lateral Soil Expansion with Cavern Effects During Liquefaction

Abstract

The paper indicates the problems of maintaining buildings constructed in the IMS system, founded on piles with a basement floor. Also presented are the problems with the installations of buildings with a roof terrace, such as downpipe verticals that are extending through the building, or installations of water supply and sewerage that run through the technical floor at ground level. An approximate analysis of the hydrodynamic impact is presented. The analogy of the effects of caverns in sandy soil with lateral soil expansion during liquefaction was also used. Given the change in climatic conditions, it is necessary in some cases to analyze the influence of atmospheric conditions in the soil-structure interaction. The advantage of buildings built in the frame IMS system (Žeželj) in seismically active areas was also indicated. These buildings are also more resistant to problems that may arise later in construction of deep foundations.
