The paper deals with structural failures of buildings caused by volume changes of steel slag in subsoil of hospital in Ostrava-Poruba. The building consists of a monolithic reinforced concrete frame structure with floor slabs on slag sub-base. Latest measured increases in deformations show that the slag swelling in the sub-soil continues, and as the measured dependences show, there is no stabilization of the movement.
