Crack Detection

Concrete materials are meant for supporting structures, building foundations and they act as several load-bearing structures. Over time, due to environmental conditions, and based on the constituent materials used, concrete materials are subjected to a great degree of distress. Corrosion of the reinforcement bars due to chemical influences, uneven base, earthquake, drying shrinkages, and alkali-aggregate reactions are some of the reasons for concrete distress.

2- Subsurface geotechnical investigations carried out in a deposit of sand provided the field standard penetration numbers N60 as given in the table below. During the geotechnical investigations, it is also observed that underground water table is encountered at a depth of 2.0 m below the ground surface. Laboratory tests have shown that physical properties of deposit of sand are as: Dry unit weight = 17.6 kN/m³ and saturated unit weight = 19.6 kN/m³. Determine, for an earthquake magnitude of 8.25, if liquefaction will occur at the site. Assume that maximum peak ground acceleration at the site is: amax = 0.25g.
