STUDY ON CAUSES OF DEFORMATIONS OF A NEWLY-BUIT BUILDING
Abstract
The paper presents the causes of deformations of a newly-built hospital building in the city of
Kusa. To determine the seeds of decay the authors have conducted: analysis of a structural arrangement
and additional site investigations. Subsequent to the results of additional site investigations the
position of ledge rock roofing is specified, an “erosion pocket” and new soil are revealed, including
a problematic one (collapsing soil), the soil on which a part of the building with destroyed walls is
set is detected. The important calculations for determining physical and mechanical properties of
this soil are made. It’s shown that differently compressible soil is used as a base layer. The causes of
deformations appearing in the southeastern part of the building are given. The need for observing
the construction regulations is highlighted.
Keywords: Kusa, hospital, cracks, additional site investigations, pits and holes, displacement
of building, erosion pocket
