Study on causes of deformations of a newly-buit building

The paper presents the causes of deformations of a newly-built hospital building in the city of Kusa. To determine the seeds of decay the authors have conducted: analysis of a structural arrangement and additional site investigations. Subsequent to the results of additional site investigations the position of ledge rock roofing is specified, an “erosion pocket” and new soil are revealed, including a problematic one (collapsing soil), the soil on which a part of the building with destroyed walls is set is detected. The important calculations for determining physical and mechanical properties of this soil are made. It’s shown that differently compressible soil is used as a base layer. The causes of deformations appearing in the southeastern part of the building are given. The need for observing the construction regulations is highlighted.
