Relating structural failures to subsurface conditions using GIS
Abstract This paper discusses the use of GIS to disclose patterns of building structural failures, structural systems and the underlying soil types on a regional basis. The approach proposes the integration of a topologically specified logical data model of regional subsurface conditions in three dimensions with a model that describes the relevant attributes of the foundation/structural systems of buildings using the same geographical referencing systems as a layer of a GIS system. Attributes of structural failures associated with individual buildings are included in the database. With subsurface conditions on one hand and foundation/structural systems data on the other, it becomes possible to compare soil/structure combinations associated with specific types of failure and to give insights into the proper choice of structural systems in the region.
