Özet:

In engineering structures, superstructure loads are transferred to the ground through foundations. Like in other engineering structures, safety and economy are the most important design criteria in the design of foundations. Today, single foundations can be preferred, especially as the foundation system of industrial-type structures. Differential settlements, the most significant disadvantage of single foundations, cause additional stresses on the superstructure. Although the superstructure designs are made according to the most unfavorable loading conditions, it is observed that the load effects caused by differential settlements are generally not taken into account in the load combinations used in practice. In this study, two sample industrial structure models were created, and maximum and differential settlements in single foundations were determined for unfavorable live loading conditions on beams. In addition to different load combinations, the effect of these differential settlements on the critical bending moments in beams was investigated using the displacement method. At the end of the study, it has been determined that differential settlements can cause bending moments in the superstructure that cannot be neglected. It is understood that in designing structures that cannot tolerate differential settlements, such as single foundations, differential settlements must also be considered in load combinations.
