Introduction
Repairing of cracks
Conclusion
A crack is a complete or incomplete separation of
concrete, brick walls into two or more parts produced
by breaking or fracturing.
(A) Nature -wise:
1. Structural Cracks
2. Non- Structural Cracks
• Proper Curing
• Design recommendations
• Structural components of a building under elastic
deformation due to dead and superimposed live loads
in accordance with hook’s law.
Firstly, clean the concrete along the crack & then fill
it with portland cement grout.
Water cement ratio should be kept low to maximize
the strength & minimize shrinkage.
Slabs containing fine dormant cracks can be repaired
by applying an overlay, such as polymer modified
portland cement mortar, or by silica fume concrete.
It is impossible to guarantee against cracking yet
attempts can be made to minimize development of
cracks
Not all types of cracks require same level of
attention.
The causes of crack can be controlled if proper
consideration is given to construction material &
technique to used.
In case of existing cracks, after detail study & analysis
of crack parameters, most appropriate method of
correction should be adopted for effective & efficient
repair of crack.
