Foundation Soil Characterisation for a Building with Multiple Cracks at Tarkwa, Ghana

George M. Tetteh, Festus A. Mensah & Bernard Ofosu · Advances in Research · 2016

Formation of cracks on buildings could be attributed to many factors such as properties of soils, geology, structural defects and climatic conditions. A public building at Tarkwa in the Western Region of Ghana developed cracks that rendered it unsafe and so it was demolished for...
