【 摘 要 】

Different types of structures behave differently on the effect of differential settlement. In this study, 40 buildings were selected to represent the vast development of national houses. The buildings were selected based on visual observation on cracks and tilted walls. The buildings comprise mostly of piled and unpiled raft foundation supporting framed structures and shear wall structures, except one framed structure with isolated piled foundation. Performance of the structures was compared by using angular distortion. It has been proven that angular distortion can give an indication of the order of magnitude of stresses induced by deformation of the ground. Shear wall structures were found to be more sensitive to vertical ground movement compared to framed structures.
