Structural loads, structural analysis and structural design are simply explained with the worked example for easiness of understanding. Element designs with notes and discussions have added to get comprehensive knowledge. Also, construction materials, shoring system design, water retaining structures, crack width calculations, etc. have discussed in addition to other aspects.
Cracking of concrete is unavoidable it is not considered during the design and construction. Environmental factors, structural form and construction procedures highly affect the cracking of concrete. This article is concentrated on type of...
Structural cracks in concrete can be considered as a failure of the design or construction or other reason. Let’s see how it happens. Structures are designed to withstand the load applied to them and...
Thermal cracking of concrete needs to be avoided especially for the thickness of concrete is increasing. Let’s what types of thermal cracks exist. Commonly known issues faced by the designers and the construction team...
Chemical reactions within the concrete and chemical reactions in the reinforcements lead to cracking of concrete are identified as a chemical attack on concrete. Further, the environmental conditions highly affect the cracking as it...
Name itself gives the idea about the type of properties that causes the cracking. It the physical properties or the behavior of material or the concrete. Physical reasons for cracking can be discussed under...
