@article{(Open Science Index):https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10012391, title = {Structural-Geotechnical Effects of the Foundation of a Medium-Height Structure}, author = {V. Rodas and L. Almache}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {The interaction effects between the existing soil and the substructure of a 5-story building with an underground one, were evaluated in such a way that the structural-geotechnical concepts were validated through the method of impedance factors with a program based on the method of the finite elements. The continuous wall-type foundation had a constant thickness and followed inclined and orthogonal directions, while the ground had homogeneous and medium-type characteristics. The soil considered was type C according to the Ecuadorian Construction Standard (NEC) and the corresponding foundation comprised a depth of 4.00 meters and a basement wall thickness of 40 centimeters. This project is part of a mid-rise building in the city of Azogues (Ecuador). The hypotheses raised responded to the objectives in such a way that the model implemented with springs had a variation with respect to the embedded base, obtaining conservative results.}, journal = {International Journal of Geological and Environmental Engineering}, volume = {16}, number = {1}, year = {2022}, pages = {10 - 18}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10012391}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/181}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 181, 2022}, }
