Maria and TOKUHIRO, Ikuo and 徳広, 育夫}, journal = {鹿児島大学工学部研究報告, The research reports of the Faculty of Engineering, Kagoshima University}, month = {Sep}, note = {The present work results from the observation of some crack patterns, which occurred in several construction elements of a reinforced concrete building located in the Sakurajima area. The following two studies were made: (I)-The crack patterns produced in the largest slab of second floor. The causes of the cracks in the slab were analyzed on the basis of four specific considerations of Japanese method of calculation (AIJ:Architectural Institute of Japan) and of German method of calculation (DIN), for reinforced concrete buildings: (a)-The thickness of the slab. (b)-A determination of the required area of steel, which was calculated from the bending moment of the slab. (c)-A comparison between the calculated fiber tensile stress of the concrete and the allowable tensile stress of concrete. (d)-Bond stress and shear stress. (II) -The crack patterns were caused by a differential subsidence of some foundation components.}, pages = {73--95}, title = {Study on Crack Patterns of a Reinforced Building}, volume = {34}, year = {1992} }
