All,
In Northamerica, the "as-built" term is used to define how the structure was truly built as opposed to what was designed and shown originally on construction drawings. Consider that what has been built might not exactly be what was shown on the original drawings issued for construction.
As-built drawings are created by the continued modification of the issued for construction drawings with the "natural" changes occuring during construction.
However, sometimes many years after a building was completed, the drawings the Owner has of a building do not exactly reflect modifications or substitutions that were implemented during construction or after the original construction was completed. Thus, one as a Strutural Engineer can not completely rely on drawings if these do not exactly say "As-Built". It is not unsual to have drawings of a building which do not exactly match what it is encountered on site.
In your case:
"Some results of predictive numerical analyses, both for 'as-built' and 'isolated' configurations are illustrated and discussed"
I believe what it is being said might be that the as-built structure was not isolated as was the "original" intention.
