What is a Concrete Crack?
Before defining about concrete crack, one should know about the structure of concrete and
what does it mean.
A concrete is a composite construction material that is composed of
aggregate (a coarse particulate material that includes sand, crushed stone, gravel, slag,
recycled concrete and geosynthetic aggregates), cement and water.
A concrete is a building
material that is being used for the foundations of structures of all kinds and for filling in the
spandrels of arches or the hearting and backing of walls of ordinary houses and in building
of more massive walls of engineering structures.
Concrete as a material has relatively high compressive strength but relatively lower tensile
strength and to overcome this weakness is reinforced with materials that are strong in the
tensile strength (for example-Steel).
Concrete has the tendency to develop cracks its
elasticity is relatively constant at the low stress levels but starts decreasing
