Civil dwelling in Crotone (KR)

Structure: Building for civilian housing located in Crotone, Makalla Street, consisting of two above-ground floors and a basement level, with load-bearing structure consisting of a spatial grid of reinforced concrete beams and pillars, pitched roof.
Foundations: lattice of reinforced concrete inverted beams set about 100 cm above ground level. The structural part is 40×60 cm.
Disturbance: marked subsidence of the south front, facing a newly constructed building that was built as a result of overburdening the land limiting the property on the aforementioned side. Similar subsidence, less marked, is, however, present on the opposite north front. In addition, on the south side there is more subsidence in the interior part of the rooms. Both subsidence shows 45° and sub horizontal cracks in the masonry. The cracking framework is particularly evident at the door and window compartments of these walls, where the smaller resistant section of the masonry has allowed the opening of inclined cracks marking the opposite corners of the compartments themselves as well as deforming the squaring of the window frames.
Soil: foundation laying surface to the depth of geotechnical interest consisting mainly of clays.
