The project looked at how current procedures to assess the risk of excavation-induced damage to masonry buildings ignores key aspects of the problem (e.g., the influence of building weight, slab type and openings in the facades); they also lack experimental validation. To quantify the influence of these aspects on structural damage, the team subjected four half-scale brick masonry buildings to settlements.
