Different Types of Concrete Cracks.
1. Cracks due to Corrosion of Reinforcement: Corrosion causes expansion and cracking.
2. Structural Cracks: Caused by settlement or movement in the foundation.
3. Map Cracking: Network of fine cracks due to shrinkage or settlement.
4. Crazing: Fine network of cracks on the surface due to drying shrinkage.
5. Diagonal Cracks in Beams and Columns: Indicate structural issues like shear stress or torsion.
6. Expansion Cracks: Caused by expansion of materials like aggregate or reinforcement.
7. Plastic Shrinkage Cracks: Occur when concrete shrinks rapidly while still plastic.
8. Drying Shrinkage Cracks: Occur as concrete dries and shrinks.
9. Thermal Cracks: Caused by temperature changes.
10. Settlement Cracks: Occur when the foundation settles or moves.

Concrete structure rely on an internal framework of steel bars. When the steel reinforcing within a concrete slab begins to rust, it expands and displaces the surrounding concrete; causing it to become brittle and crack which exacerbates the issue.
Tulsyan steel TMT rebars, the best in class, provides better corrosion resistance that nullifies the threat of concrete cancer.

The issue of electrical failure of cables due to termite attack has been recognized for over years. Termites will rule the house and will force the resident to evacuate. Sometimes homeowner’s complaint of short circuits without any valid reason for such mess to occur. Several times we come across such a situation where the electric wires and cable are damaged badly by termites.
The termites are unaware of the use of cables and they feed on them by gnawing through electric cables and wire and thus causing damage to the wires and cables. The termites get easily attracted to those old electric wires which contain cellulosic material and these wires which are destroyed has the high possibility of short circuits and power failures and buildup of earthen material around power points. Termites use the electric boards to move from one place to another. If there is termite infestation behind a wall activity then it can prove to be shock or fire hazard

Useful construction tips. 1
തട്ടിനു മുകളിൽ ഈ ചിത്രത്തിൽ കാണുന്നതുപോലെ 3mm thinkness ഉള്ള rexin ഷീറ്റ് വിരിച്ചു കൊടുക്കുക.
Advantage/Reason : The added water in the concrete mixture needs to remain in the concrete mixture for the next few hours. If you dont cover the platform using this kind of sheet, water along with cement grout will drain off downwards through the small pores. This can be prevented by doing this simple work so that the quality of the concrete can be assured.
Tip number 2 : കോൺക്രീറ്റിംഗ് കഴിഞ്ഞ ഭാഗങ്ങൾ പടുത ഉപയോഗിച്ച് കവർ ചെയുക.
Advantage / Reason : By doing so we can prevent the evaporation of water molecules from the concrete mixture. If you dont do this, examine the finished concreting areas at evening, you can see lot of cracks on the surface of the concrete. This is due the absence of enough water in the concrete mixture for proper hydration process.
Lack of proper hydration will lead to the leakage in the future. #HouseConstruction #tips #CivilEngineer

"Prevention is better than cure"
These cracks are mainly due to the expansion of concrete due to rusting of reinforcement inside this can be reduced by proper supervision and by taking prevention measures.
It should be repaired in the beginning stage itself if it is showing hair line cracks of thickness more than 5mm in size.
Repair procedure
1. Remove existing plastering and check the reinforcement.
2. Remove the rust with a wire brush.
3. Apply a protection coat.
4. Replaster using pins and fibre mesh.
5. Give a waterproofing protection above it.
This will give a long life to structure.
Build better. Protect your dream.
If you notice these kinds of issues it is better to consult a professionally qualified engineer near you

MODERN ARCHITECTURE
Modern architecture or modernist architecture was an architectural movement or architectural style based upon new and innovative technologies of construction, particularly the use of glass, steel & reinforced concrete; the idea that form should follow function ( functionalism); an embrace of minimalism; and a rejection of ornament. It emerged in the first half of the 20th century and became dominant after world war ll until the 1980s when it gradually replaced as the principal style for institutional and corporate buildings by postmodern architecture.

In these situations go for safety rather than the cost.
Covers are given to provide protection against corrosion and fire to the rebars. If less cover is provided, protection against the above will be inadequate. And if more than required is provided then the concrete on the tension side of any structural member, will crack under tension.
Cover is provided to increase the structural integrity and coherence of the concrete in cover region. Concrete covering is provided in every element of the building (Slabs, Beams, Columns Footings) wherever the reinforcement is used.
For a longitudinal reinforcing bar in a column, a concrete cover not less than 40 mm not less than the diameter of such a bar should be provided. In the case of columns of the minimum dimension of 20 cm or under, whose reinforcing bars do not exceed 12 mm, the concrete cover of 25 mm is to be used for reinforcement.

✨ Why plastering is important?
✔️ Creates a smooth surface for painting and finishing
✔️ Protects walls from moisture and damage
✔️ Improves durability and overall look of the building
⚒️ Things to notice while plastering:
Always check the quality of cement, sand, and water
Make sure the wall surface is cleaned and prepared properly
Maintain curing to prevent cracks and ensure strength
📌 Mix Ratios (Most Common):
Internal walls: 1:6 (Cement : Sand)
External walls: 1:5 or 1:6
Ceilings: 1:4 or 1:5
A properly plastered wall is the foundation for a strong, beautiful, and long-lasting home.

Seismic hooks, also known as seismic detailing or hooks in reinforced concrete structures, play a crucial role in enhancing the structure's ability to withstand earthquakes and other seismic activities. #iSeismic hooks #earthquickreaistancefoundation #stirrups
Importance of Seismic Hooks
1. *Ductility*: Seismic hooks help increase the ductility of reinforced concrete structures, allowing them to deform and absorb seismic energy without collapsing.
2. *Confinement*: The hooks provide confinement to the concrete, preventing it from spalling or crushing during seismic events.
3. *Reinforcement anchorage*: Seismic hooks ensure that the reinforcement bars are properly anchored, preventing them from pulling out of the concrete during seismic activity.
4. *Structural stability*: By providing additional confinement and anchorage, seismic hooks help maintain the structural stability of buildings during earthquakes.

Share if you find this useful. Support, comment what you think. Save Concrete and Reinforcement hence reduce the cost.👇Thank you 🤍
Reason why ends are tampered 👇
At the ends of a simply supported beam the bending moments are zero. At the wall of a cantilever beam, the bending moment equals the moment reaction. At the free end, the bending moment is zero.
Maximum BM occurs at support for cantilever beam and it reduces to zero towards the free end. The depth of beam is directly proportional to the moment carrying capacity so as the BM reduces to nil towards the free end a tapered depth may be adopted to achieve economy by saving concrete.
So reduces the concrete and Reinforcement at the end.

Project Name: Seetharaman House
Location: Chennai
Architectural Firm: Benny Kuriakose & Associates
@bennykuriakose_associates
The Seetharaman house was designed by Benny Kuriakose and Associates and is a refuge from the unforgiving heat and dismal tones of Chennai city by honouring the client's requirements at every turn. The central objective when designing the house is to create a spacious, bright, pleasant, and easy-to-maintain traditional Kerala style house using natural materials. The house is in the shape of the Tamil alphabet “Pa”, and all the living spaces overlook the green courtyard. Due to proximity to the seaside and to mitigate heat, the sloping roof is built of timber and Mangalore tiles with large overhangs shading the walls.
