Figures & data
Figure 1. The ground floor plane of the building under study.
– Relative movement along axes (6) &; (5), and the crak pattern indicates vertical movement for the building at axis (6) with higher rate at axes (B & C).
– Inclined cracks between axes (5 &6) along axis (C) in the wall of the first floor. This did not appear in the basement and ground floor because no walls along axis (C) exist in these floors.
– Heave of basement floor was observed between axes (5&6) towards axis (5).
– Various cracks were observed on the exterior and interior walls as shown in photos of .
