DESCRIPTION:This presentations introduces the mechanisms of soil-structure
  interaction for piled buildings adjacent to deep excavations in urban are
 as\, with a focus on typical soft soil conditions.  \nThe main questions t
 hat will be answered are: How can we predict the behaviour of one or more 
 buildings when a deep excavation will be constructed? What kind of modelli
 ng and/or measurements can be used to predict this effect?      \n\nAssess
 ing the response of buildings to excavation-induced deformations involves 
 a combination of geotechnical and structural aspects\, such as green field
  displacements (2D/3D\, caused by deep excavations)\, building behaviour\,
  soil – foundation - building interaction\, monitoring techniques and mo
 delling techniques. In this talk these topics are presented with special a
 ttention given to a case study of the construction of three deep stations 
 and a shield tunnel in the historic city of Amsterdam\, The Netherlands.\n
