THE CRACKING IN THE FOUNDATION OF TIANDUO GARDEN BUILDING

This paper studies the initiation of cracks in the large foundation mat of Tianduo Garden Building. With ANSYS finite method software, the authors simulated the temperature field in theconstruction period, and calculated the stress field and simulated the cracking of the concrete structure, with a model of cracking, crushing and failure for the concrete material, and distributed cracks. Some conclusions were obtained.
