Abstract |
|
Concrete, a strong, durable material composed of cement, aggregate and water, is the most used building material in the world. Concrete has an ultimate load bearing capacity under compression but the material is weak in tension. The use of supplementary cementations material in the production of concrete can result in measure saving of energy and cost. It also helps to improve strength, durability, impermeability and chemical reaction of concrete. However, the cracks in the concrete form a major problem which affects the durability of the structures. To increase the strength and durability of the structure either the cracks that are formed should be repaired conventionally using epoxy injection or latex treatment or by providing extra reinforcement in the structure during the design phase to ensure that the crack width stays within a permissible limit. |
