Concrete is a composite structure composed of cement, coarse and fine aggregates, water, and various additives and admixtures that undergo a series of physical and chemical reactions under appropriate curing conditions.
It is a non-uniform structure with high compressive strength and good structural durability, but also has disadvantages such as low tensile strength, poor deformation resistance, and easy cracking.
The causes of concrete cracks during the construction phase are multifaceted, such as material, steel reinforcement configuration, construction technology, load, temperature, curing, etc.
In most cases, cracks are not the result of unilateral factors, but the result of multiple factors intertwined and working together.
Below is an analysis of the cracking of cast-in-place concrete structures caused by construction quality issues.
