**Common Housing Crack Safety Testing and Identification Technology Center**
At the **Common Housing Crack Safety Testing and Identification Technology Center**, we specialize in evaluating and identifying structural cracks in residential buildings. As an authoritative construction engineering quality testing company, we are certified by the National Quality and Technical Supervision Bureau and hold qualifications from the China Construction Department. Our services cover a wide range of fields, including foundation testing, building materials evaluation, structural analysis, seismic resistance, and identification of unsafe buildings.
Our team is equipped with advanced technology and professional expertise to conduct comprehensive safety assessments. We offer free technical consultation and support for all types of building inspections, including crack detection, structural safety testing, floor load evaluation, and damage assessment. With years of experience, our goal is to ensure the safety and stability of residential structures.
**What Are Common Cracks?**
Cracks in buildings are a natural occurrence and often indicate underlying issues. They can be caused by either load or deformation factors. Load cracks result from excessive stress due to static or dynamic loads, while deformation cracks arise from temperature changes, material shrinkage, or uneven settlement of foundations.
**Masonry Structure Cracks**
In masonry structures, most cracks are deformation-related, such as settlement, temperature, or shrinkage cracks. These account for approximately 90% of all cracks in masonry walls, while only 10% are due to actual load stress.
**Concrete Structure Cracks**
Concrete structures may develop cracks from both load and deformation. Load-induced cracks occur when the applied forces exceed the design capacity, while deformation cracks are typically caused by temperature changes, shrinkage, or ground movement. Over 80% of concrete cracks are related to deformation, with temperature and shrinkage being the most common causes.
**Guidelines for Crack Detection and Evaluation**
1. Assess the impact of cracks on the structure based on their distribution.
2. For unstable cracks, continuous monitoring is essential to understand their development.
3. The widest parts of cracks usually indicate the highest stress concentration.
4. Marking the maximum width and end points helps track crack progression.
5. Monitoring should not exceed one month to ensure timely evaluation.
**Testing Process and Key Steps**
- Review architectural and structural drawings, construction records, and material mix ratios.
- Measure crack dimensions (width, depth, length) using visual inspection and tools like tape measures.
- Monitor crack development using methods such as gypsum sealing.
- Measure floor deflection using leveling instruments or total stations.
- Check wall verticality and column inclination with precision equipment.
- Test concrete strength using rebound or ultrasonic methods.
- Evaluate reinforcement layout and protective layer thickness.
- Inspect surface and internal defects, such as cracks, holes, or breaks.
- Conduct structural modeling and finite element analysis to assess safety.
