Cracks in Concrete

Hi Friends , In this article today I will teach you about Cracks in Concrete, so what the reason and why cracks can come in concrete, so in this topic you are able to learn about crack in concrete and why cracks can come in concrete, so Let’s get start.

What is Concrete :

Concrete is a building material which made from mixture of cement , sand ,crush or gravel and water. and we poured this mixture in the form work which can give us the different shapes of element like stone which is too mush strong.

Why Concrete Cracks :

1: Excess of water in concrete

2: Improper Compaction of concrete

3: Rapid drying of concrete

4: Temperature Variation

1: Excess of water in concrete

Concrete does not required much water to get maximum strength . we required limit water in concrete to achieve the maximum strength of concrete. when we increase the water in concrete so it can lose the strength , so therefore concrete can crack. water is just reducing in concrete to make workabality of concrete . so increasing of water can reduce the strength of concrete.

2: Improper Compaction of concrete

before placing concrete we have to proper compact the soil. and after that when we placed concrete so concrete should be compacted properly . when the concrete is not compacted so after that concrete gets start to crack after some time of placing of concrete. Because when we don’t compact the concrete so its also reduce the strength.

3: Rapid drying of concrete

when concrete rapid drying so its also danger for concrete , Because the rapid drying of concrete is the possibility of cracking. Because there are chemical reaction in concrete its why that concrete change from liquid or plastic to solid form so its required the water. So the hydration process starting in the concrete due to cement presence for weeks after pouring concrete.

4: Temperature Variation

Cracks in concrete is also depend on the temperature, Because the temperature is high at noon time and at after noon time the temperature is reducing. Due to this expansion concrete gets staring cracking.
