Once the anticipated settlement was determined foreach building, the settlement was then utilized to estimate the horizontaldisplacements, and in turn the horizontal strain, utilizing the formula below:εh2= δ ( y)⎛ y ⎞⎜ −⎟12∗1 2z ⎝ 2i⎠(Eq. 2)where:δ(y) = settlement at a distance y from tunnel centerline (inches)z = depth from ground surface (or bottom <strong>of</strong> foundation where the buildingdisplacement is <strong>of</strong> interest) to midpoint <strong>of</strong> tunnel (feet)y = horizontal distance from centerline to point <strong>of</strong> interest (feet)i = distance from centerline to point <strong>of</strong> inflection (feet)The Alaskan Way Viaduct & Seawall Replacement Program March 2010Proposed SR 99 <strong>Bored</strong> <strong>Tunnel</strong> - <strong>Assessment</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Settlement</strong> <strong>Impacts</strong> to Buildings 17Public Disclosure Request 11-0123 for Elizabeth Campbell - 2nd installment
