← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when differential settlement strains the tied columns of a concrete parking garage?
A)Increased shear cracking in spandrels✓
B)Reduced axial load capacity overall
C)Enhanced corrosion resistance observed
D)Improved damping of seismic vibrations
💡 Explanation
Increased shear cracking in spandrels bridges the vertical support columns because differential settlement introduces moments and shears exceeding design, therefore cracking is magnified around joints, rather than improved damping.
