An Investigation for Inclination of Floor slabs of The Building for Faculty of Architecture and Structural Engineering

The building for Faculty of Architecture and Structural Engineering, one of schoolhouses of Kure National College of Technology, was built on soft ground in Aga-Minami, Kure, in 1965. Due to consolidation settlement of the ground, the building leans and deforms presently. These leaning and deformation contribute both inclination and deformation of floor slabs of the building. And, this inclination of floor slabs may have ill effects on students’ mental and physical health. This paper reports observed inclination of floor slabs of the building for Faculty of Architecture and Structural Engineering and investigates effects of the inclination on students’ health.
