Abstract
The ability of a building to sustain the applied loads depends on
the building's foundation system.
Foundation is an important part of every building, which interfaces the superstructures
to the adjacent soil or rock below it. Therefore, early thermal cracks have to be well
controlled to have a durable foundation. Thermal movement occurs when the
temperature of concrete changes due to environment changes or heat generated when the
cement first hydrates. Thermal movements due to changes in the ambient temperature
are normally not a problem in concrete structures. It can be controlled by number of
movement joints or isolation membrane. However, the temperature differential between
the center and the surface of the concrete is hard to be controlled by workmanship.
