Both the building for Faculty of Architecture and Structural Engineering and that for Students in the Lower Grades, which are schoolhouses of Kure National College of Technology, was built on soft ground in Aga-Minami, Kure, until 1965. Due to consolidation settlement of the ground, both buildings lean and deform presently. These leaning and deformation contribute both inclination and deformation of floor slabs of the buildings. 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 two buildings and investigates effects of the inclination on students’ health.
