CRACKS IN CONCRETE DUE TO MOISTURE CHANGE
Building materials such as concrete, mortar, bricks, wood etc are porous in nature and expand by absorbing moisture from atmosphere and shrink on drying. These changes in building materials are cyclic in nature and are caused during moisture changes.But building materials undergo irreversible changes due to change in moisture...

LONG TERM SHRINKAGE CRACKING OF CONCRETE
Long Term Shrinkage Cracking of Concrete:Shrinkage is the inherent property of cement paste, which in pure form may shrink up to 1%. Aggregate provides internal restraint that reduces the magnitude of this volume change to about 0.06%. Shrinkage also occurs partly due to hydration of cement. On wetting concrete...

REPAIR OF DORMANT CRACKS IN CONCRETE
Following are the Methods of Repair for Dormant Cracks in Concrete: 1. Sealing of Cracks: Sealing of cracks as stand alone repair should be used in conditions where structural repair is not necessary. Isolated cracks whether extending through the concrete section or partially into it, should...

CONCRETE CRAZING AND PREVENTION
Concrete Crazing: Crazing is the development of a network of fine random cracks or fissures on the surface of concrete caused by shrinkage of the surface layer. These cracks are rarely more than 3mm deep, and are more noticeable on over floated or steel-troweled surfaces. The irregular hexagonal areas...

BUILDING CRACKS- CAUSES & REMEDIES
Causes of Cracks in concrete structures:The principal causes of occurrence of cracks in a building are as follows: 1. Permeability of concrete. As deterioration process in concrete begins with penetration of various aggressive agents, low permeability is the key to its durability. Concrete permeability is controlled by factors like water-cement ratio,...

REQUIREMENTS OF CONCRETE REPAIR MATERIALS
Besides being of compatible properties, repair materials for cement, concrete/mortar shall also be easy to apply and require no attention after the repair has been applied. The essential parameters for deciding upon a repair material for concrete are: Low shrinkage properties Requisite setting/hardening properties Workability ...

MATERIALS FOR REPAIR OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES
The range of materials for repair of concrete structures to be effectively durable is fairly limited. The materials most widely used are concrete and mortar, which are made as far as practicable with the same type of cement and aggregates as were used in the original structure. When deterioration...

EVALUATION OF CRACKS IN CONCRETE
When anticipating repair of cracks in concrete, it is important to first identify the location and extent of cracking. It should be determined whether the observed cracks are indicative of current or future structural problems, taking into consideration the present and anticipated future loading conditions. The cause of the

CONCRETE CRACK REPAIR EQUIPMENT
All equipment employed in the concrete crack repair operation must be inspected before, during, and after the repair project to ensure proper operation of the equipment, safety of the personnel involved in the project, and potential damage to the pavement due to equipment problems. Proper safety procedures in accordance...
METHODS OF CONCRETE CRACK REPAIR
Concrete crack repairs are selected based on structural evaluation. Causes of concrete cracks should be first evaluated for successful crack repair selection.

TYPES OF CRACKS IN CONCRETE BEAMS
TYPES OF CRACKS IN CONCRETE BEAMS 1. Cracks in concrete beams due to increased shear stress 2. Cracks in concrete beams due to corrosion or insufficient concrete cover 3. Cracks parallel to main steel in case of corrosion in beams...
SPALL REPAIR PROCEDURES
The repair process begins after the final cleaning of the area. The area must be dry and free of dust, oil, dirt, etc. A good repair begins with a clean surface. Since the volume of most spall repairs is usually small, most mixing must be done in a small...
PERMEABILITY OF CONCRETE
If concrete is impermeable, corrosive agents cannot penetrate and attack it. Concrete basically has two types of pores, which determine permeability. These are capillary pores (with a diameter varying between 0.01 to 10 micron) in the cement, paste which coats the aggregates and larger micro voids, between 1 mm...
CRACKING IN WALLS
There are cracks in all buildings, some minor and insignificant, some requiring expensive repairs and in some extreme cases the only solution is total demolition of the building. This article is intended to put cracks into context: obviously one of the major concerns of house buyers. “How serious is...
PLASTERING CONCRETE
The application of lightweight plasters to Concrete walls or soffits should be regarded as a High risk operation due to the large number of failures that have occurred.The failure often takes the form of a progressive de-bonding of the plaster from the surface of the concrete and usually starts...
