RE: Failures in Reinforced Concrete Structures (Types and Causes)
Welcome back abumaryam,
I hope i hug t to read more awesome stuffs like this more often. I was lucky to have worked on a construction site and i must say cracks are lots of headaches for supervising engineers. I could remember how much he used to shout and and frown at his workers when he finds one.
Very true. Like the yoruba proverb would say "If cracks doesn't exist in a wall, the lizard find no abode in it". That is, a little crack could actually be a cause of (and in fact has led to) the collapse of a structure. So prompt action is actually enjoined when you begin to sight them.
