SLAB MOMENT DISTRIBUTIONS OF A RESIDENTIAL BUILDING
Expansive soils often cause difficult performance problems for building constructed on these soils. At present the influence of environmental factors on the behaviour of building constructed on these soils remains unsolved. In this paper, a complete system is developed for three dimensional simulations of the behaviour of residential buildings on expansive soils. This study utilized simple and readily available historic weather data such as daily temperature, solar radiation, relative humidity, wind speed, and rainfall as the input. Accurate three dimensional predictions are obtained by integrating a number of different analytical and numerical techniques: different simulation methods for different boundary conditions such as trees, grass, and bare soils, coupled hydro-mechanical stress analysis to describe deformation of saturated-unsaturated soils, coupled hydro-mechanical stress jointed elements simulation of soil-structure interaction, and analysis of structure stress by general shell elements. The moment distributions in the slabs for a residential building are presented and some discussions are made.
