The concrete Failure shown in the image is called CONCRETE CANCER. What might be the cause of this failure and How should one take care of this . Expert please shoot your answers .
known as 'alkali corrosion' or 'alkali silica reaction'. there is no solution for this problem and structures need to be completely demolished if this happens.
is this retaining wall or normal rcc wall?this can happen due to various reasons. poor quality of cement , or not proper cover for concrete and the steel got corroded , also not proper structural design etc. should conduct core test and other test to determine the strength of concrete and recheck the design whether it can be repaired or not.
Much like the deadly C word in human sickness - Cancer, Concrete cancer also slowly eats up the wall from inside. As shown in picture symbols like concrete cracking, crumbling and flaking of concrete, bubbling on concrete ..are easy way to understand this defect, the term cancering is used as this defect spreads and worsens.

It may be due to the inferior quality of the materials, insufficient curing, or improper compaction.
