    Evaluating damage to a typical precast warehouse building
    (2013) Firek, Karol; Barycz, Stanisław; Kocot, Wojciech; Witkowski, Michał
    This article presents a case of a damaged warehouse building built in the typical reinforced concrete precast technology. Damage and irregularities identified during an inspection were described and their causes were analyzed. Identification of the type and extent of the damage led to the conclusion that the most important are the concrete cracks and losses along the edges of the load-bearing structure column heads at the level of the roof girders support, and not the cracks and displacements of the curtain wall fragments, which the user was most concerned with. The described example is a confirmation of a need to carry out regular evaluations of the technical condition of buildings, so that users can rationally plan renovation works for the further safe use of the structure.
