U.S.-Korea Cooperative Research: Subsurface Construction, Resulting Ground Movements, and Protection of the Built Environment

Cording9722877该奖项支持伊利诺伊大学的Edward Cording博士和韩国首尔丹国大学的HakMoon Kim博士之间为期三年的合作研究项目，该项目的主题是“地下建筑、由此产生的地面运动和建筑环境的保护”。该项目将涉及1)大规模建模，2)收集和分析现场数据，3)数值分析，以及4)制定与地面移动和建筑物损坏有关的准则和建议。这项研究将受益于首尔目前正在进行的100多项与建筑相关的挖掘数据。每年在数以千计的建筑物附近和下面修建挖掘和隧道，每一次都有损坏建筑物的可能性。随着人们对有限的城市空间的需求不断增加，地下建筑项目将继续增加。这项研究工作将结合美国和韩国研究小组的专业知识、设施和数据，以评估如何最好地处理附近地下施工对建筑物的潜在损害。***

Cording 9722877 This award supports a three-year collaborative research project between Dr. Edward Cording of the University of Illinois and Dr. Hakmoon Kim of the University of Dankook in Seoul, Korea on "Subsurface Construction, Resulting Ground Movements, and Protection of the Built Environment." The project will involve 1) large-scale modeling, 2) collection and analysis of field data, 3) numerical analysis, and 4) development of guidelines and recommendations related to ground movement and building damage. The study will benefit from data on the more than 100 construction-related excavations currently underway in Seoul. Excavations and tunnels are constructed adjacent to and beneath thousands of buildings each year, and with each instance, there is the possibility of damage to structures. With ever increasing demands being placed on limited urban space, subsurface construction projects will continue to increase. This research effort will combine the expertise, facilities and data of the American and Korean research groups to assess how best to deal with potential damage to structures due to nearby subsurface construction. ***
