Crack distribution and damage characteristics.

IDStructural characteristicsFracture distribution and failure characteristics

S1More longitudinal ribsThe overall distribution of the cracks is relatively uniform
S2Standard specimensThere are fewer regional cracks in the transverse rib distribution area.
S3No transverse ribsThe crack spacing is the smallest, the texture is complex, and there is no peeling or local buckling at the top and bottom
S4No top concreteThe crack spacing is large, the width of a single crack is the largest under the same load, and there is no crushing phenomenon of the aerated blocks
S6Cast-in-place slabThe cracks are evenly distributed and the direction is clear.
