ABSTRACT: A concept for evaluation of building damage resulting from differential ground movem.ent is
presented in this paper. The concept is intended as a first-order method for damage assessment and rehes on
ground movement profile geometry, structure geometry and design, strain sup~rpos~tion, and critical strains of
building materials. Means for estimating the degree of damage are presented In this paper. so that the ~round
movement effects on third-party properties resulting from adjacent construction can be qUIckly and ratIOnally
prioritized. Prioritizing structure evaluations according to this first-order damage assessment method allows
detailed evaluations to be focused on those structures that appear to be most susceptible to moderate or severe
damage. Using the methods described in this p~per, 20 case histories ar~ examined, producing 43 separate

Bending Strain
After determining the proportion of total deflection accom-
modated by bending, the distorted length due to tension of the
extreme fiber by bending (1M') can be determined by geometry.
For example, the strained length of walls undergoing hogging
