Description
The settlement calculation of a multi-story building is a challenging task due to the variation of soil properties and the use of an appropriate constitutive model for the reliable representation of soils’ stress-strain behaviors. In this study, the settlement response of a multi-story building was calculated with the simple Mohr-Coulomb Model (MCM) and the Hardening Soil Model (HSM). The effect of soil modulus of elasticity using both models was investigated on the overall settlement response of the building. Results indicated that MCM overestimated immediate settlement in a range of 50 to 65% compared to HSM. The settlement response of the building calculated with both models was within the allowable range. The results of this study can be helpful for geotechnical engineers working on reliable predictions of the settlement of multi-story buildings.
