Abstract

Frequent reports about the occurrence of diagonal corner cracks of slabs at end units of public housing buildings were received before 1985. A forensic study was undertaken in 1985 to identify the causes of such cracks and the necessary measures to eliminate such cracks in all future public housing developments. The methodology of the study adopted was to carry out a detailed investigation of the cracks reported in five public housing buildings in different new towns all over Singapore. Schematic sketches and/or crack widths of such cracks at each dwelling units are reported for each of the case studies. The causes of such cracks were a combination of design and construction issues. After the implementation of remedial measures, the occurrence of diagonal corner cracks of slabs at end units of the newly constructed public housing buildings became significantly less common.
公寓楼末端单元楼板对角裂缝
一九八五年以前,当局经常接获公营房屋楼宇尾楼楼板出现斜角裂缝的报告。政府在一九八五年进行了一项法证研究,以查明这些裂缝的原因,以及在未来所有公共房屋发展项目中采取必要措施消除这些裂缝。该研究采用的方法是对新加坡不同新市镇的五栋公共住房的裂缝进行详细调查。每个案例研究报告了每个住宅单元的示意图和/或裂缝宽度。这些裂缝的原因是设计和施工问题的结合。在实施补救措施后,新建公屋楼宇末端单位楼板出现对角裂缝的情况已明显减少。
