Concrete may be one of the toughest buildings materials in common use but it does develop cracks over time, and in the case of structures such as buildings or bridges, it is imperative that those ...

"There is no need for panic in the matter. In fact, Indian standard codes for design of reinforced concrete structures allows and permits tension cracks within limits," a DMRC statement said.

Abstract Concrete is the most widely used material in the world and is responsible for 8% of global carbon emissions. It is inherently brittle, and it requires frequent repair or replacement, which ...

When structures made of concrete like bridges, buildings, and tunnels are loaded repeatedly over long periods, they develop cracks that may progress and cause structural failure.

Using a magnesium oxide admixture should enable these structures to minimize cracks in the surface of these concrete structures to maximize these investments and ensure these facilities meet the ...

This study proposed an automated inspection system for obtaining the cracks angle, width, endpoint length, and actual path length in a concrete structure. A CNN model, Inception-V3, was trained to ...

A graph‐based method for quantifying crack patterns on reinforced concrete shear walls. Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, 2023; DOI: 10.1111/mice.13009 ...

Although concrete can be altered in order to help tiny cracks show up before they become catastrophic, scientists have now discovered that regular concrete does the job pretty well itself. It just ...
