6/13/2023 0 Comments Shrinkage Cracks In Concrete BeamsHorizontal Cracks: Horizontal crack in reinforced concrete column is generally found at the beam-column joint, and on column face where tensile stress is massive. Because of insufficient load bearing strength of the columns, inadequate cross-section and inadequate reinforcement steel.ĭiagonal Cracks significantly impact the structural soundness and therefore it should be monitored carefully.Ģ. Diagonal Cracks: If there are diagonal cracks in reinforced concrete columns, they encircle the whole face of column anywhere along its height. Types of cracks found in concrete columns:ġ. The cracks happen in columns due to improper design, defective construction or overloading, erosion of reinforcement, isolated settlement of foundations, creep and shrinkage.Ĭracking in reinforced concrete column may result in loosing of strength, consistency, longevity, and adversely impact aesthetics. Usually, Four types of cracks are found in reinforced concrete column which range from diagonal cracks, horizontal cracks, splitting cracks, corrosion cracks.
