This paper presents two real case buildings that are redesigned considering the heave of the ground formation.The buildings are evaluated for upward swelling pressure, taking into account dead load, live load, and expansive soil load combinations.The criterion used to evaluate the safety of buildings constructed on expansive soils is first presente

The vast majority of existing structures in Croatia, as well as in other European countries, are made of unreinforced masonry.The seemingly ideal building material presents a great challenge for engineers in earthquake-prone zones.Given that structural failure can have significant consequences in terms of loss of human lives as well as financial lo
