Response of Cracks to Construction Vibrations and Environmental Effects

Description:

This paper summarizes micro-inch response of cosmetic cracks in a typical slab-ongrade ranch style house to both construction equipment-induced vibration and environmental (weather) effects. This structure was instrumented, and its response studied as part of the development of an Autonomous Crack Measurement (ACM) system. ACM systems are intended to record...

Description:

Cracking is one of the most common concerns cited by owners of structures adjacent to construction or mining blasting. While a large database of case studies documenting the relative insignificance of ground motion induced by responsible blasting compared to weather effects on cracks in nearby structures has been established, the...
