Recently, numerical analysis has come to be used to predict the risk of structure cracking in advance. However, the precision of these predictions is strongly influenced by the accuracy of the material property values used in the analysis. The next step of crack control technology is the creation of high-precision cracking prediction techniques by reflecting the extensive data we have gathered regarding cement and concrete, and the quantified cracking reduction effect of individual materials, in material property values. Though concrete structures are affected by a wide range of conditions, such as their dimensions, shape, environmental conditions, concrete mixture proportions, etc.,this prediction technology can be used to provide optimal cracking control technologies for individual structures.
Process of cracking evaluation using numerical analysis

Values for concrete expansion and shrinkage strain, strength, Young’s modulus, and other related characteristics are combined with the results of past research in order to improve analysis precision.

Process of cracking evaluation using numerical analysis

Numerical analysis can be used to predict temperature and stress inside structures, and perform comparative evaluation of cracking risks for individual materials.



Example of results of thermal stress analysis using the three-dimensional finite element method
Measurement and study performed on an actual structure

We actively measure internal temperature, stress and cracking studies using actual concrete structures. The results are used to verify, improve, and enhance numerical analysis-based cracking prediction techniques.
