Abstract:
Economic considerations drive the more effective use of space in urban areas, promoting the construction of taller buildings with deeper basement structures. The crowded nature of urban environments imposes strict restrictions to the tolerable performance of these new constructions. These restrictions are translated in the need for the development of more precise tools that can be used by engineering practitioners to predict construction induced deformations. Geotechnical finite element simulations are a common technique to estimate construction performance. This methodology can be enhanced by the use of optimization routines to calibrate the constitutive model parameters with existing data.
