one symptom, many causes
cracks are a common symptom of structural distress. We help monitor them, to reveal their cause and better plan building and infrastructure maintenance. Crack causes include:
elastic deformation
Structural components like walls and beams undergo elastic deformation due to load, causing cracks.
settlement
of soil
Differential settlement or movement in the soil beneath a structure can cause cracks.
chemical permeability
Sulphate attacks on cement products or corrosion of reinforcement in concrete may result in cracking.
structural
design flaws
Bad design or construction can result in insufficient reinforcement and increased stress concentration.
