This study presents a mathematical model for estimating the growth of a crack in a 15-year-old concrete building located in Gboko, Benue State, Nigeria. The model takes into consideration various factors, including the building's dimensions, construction age, climate, soil type, and maintenance history. The aim of the study is to assess the structural integrity of the building and provide insights into its maintenance needs. The model was calibrated using data on the location, size, shape, and associated damage of an existing crack in the building's east wall. The results of the model show that the crack is likely to continue growing at a slow rate of approximately 0.1 mm/year. However, the crack is not expected to pose a significant risk to the building's structural integrity in the near future. The study demonstrates the potential of mathematical modeling as a tool for assessing and managing cracks in concrete structures. The model provides valuable insights into the structural behavior of the building, and the results can be used by building owners, engineers, and maintenance personnel to make informed decisions about the maintenance, repair, and upgrade of the building. Overall, the study highlights the importance of regular maintenance and inspection of concrete structures to ensure their long-term durability and safety.
