Abstract

This chapter presents the finite element analysis of the building monitored in Chapters 4 and 5. A plane strain model was employed through dividing the column properties by the tributary width of the frame, and utilizing the equivalent area and moment of inertia per foot of length of the waffle slab. The analysis confirms many of the results gleaned from the discrete instrumentation measurements. In particular, the lateral earth pressure exerted on the rigid frame developed during the thermal expansion cycles is considerably larger than the lateral earth pressure at rest.
