Experimental Study on Crack Patterning due to Unevenness of Coating Thickness on Earth Wall with Overcoat Wall Clay

Part 1. Examination of crack property of earth wall panel specimen of unevenness due to dug down on coating thickness

Abstract

In this study, we investigated experimentally the expression of crack patterning due to unevenness of coating thickness on earth wall with overcoat wall clay. In Part 1, we examined the occurrence of crack property of earth wall panel specimen of unevenness due to dug down on coating thickness. As a result, cracks due to uneven landing occurred in a combination of fine crack intervals in the lightly coated area and coarse crack intervals in the deeply coated area.
