Vertical Deformation Analysis Based on Repeated Measurements of a Shopping Building

Abstract

For the vertical deformation monitoring of the construction of the Family Park shopping centre facility in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, a monitoring network has been established including 12 benchmarks installed on the wall of the building. Altogether 8 of control surveys were observed during the time span of the construction, and based on them, an estimation for future subsidence has been provided by extrapolating of best-fitting exponential curve. It was found that in all test points the relevant subsidence has been ceased. A further test has been provided to estimate the tilting of the building. The value of the tilting was estimated to be 0.06‰, which was also found to be unidirectional, so no deformation of the structure can be expected due to it.
