Features: Based on extensive engineering practices, this book provides a systematic discussion on cracks caused by deformation in structures. It includes many new viewpoints, analyses, and treatment methods, with a detailed analysis of practical experiences and research findings over the past decade. The calculation formulas proposed by the author have successfully addressed crack issues in many key construction projects in China. The book also highlights the author's recent experiences with "post-pouring strips" and numerous urban structural crack control case studies, and for the first time publishes the author's field research findings on measured temperature shrinkage stresses in on-site structures.
