Identification of Cracks

1.

a 

  • The above image show the damage at beam column joint
  • In this damage is more for part of beam
  • Damage is caused due to not providing sufficient cover to beam from reinforcement.
  • May be caused due to insufficient vibration of Concrete as there will be hinderence of the reinforcement while vibration
  • The repair can be done providing proper cover at the joint

b

  • In above image it is clearly damage
  • This damage is caused due to improper shotcrete plaster materials
  • This damage can be repaired by removing pieces of plaster surrounding the damage materials and shotcrete once again by applying suitable adhesive

c.

  • The above image show the damage exactly at beam column joint
  • It occurs due to joint subjected to high shear force
  • This type of damage temporarily repaired but during long run this damage may cause harm and also can turn into failure

2.

a.

  • The above image shows failure of Column due to Bulking
  • The column should be long column even though beams are provided at intermediate levels the column couldn't resist the buckling long so failure occurred
  • Generally buckling occurs at the midpoint of the column where the bending moment is maximum and the shear force is zero
  • To avoid this type of failure the reinforcement should be provided in such a way that the lapping of the all reinforcement bars in single column not meeting at same point
  • It is better if alternate bars are provided for lapping of joint.

b. 

  • The above image show failure due to shear
  • Generally shorter column attach high shear force
  • This undesirable mode of deformation caused as short column effect
  • This is one of mainly observed failure during earthquake Which generally occurs at the open ground floor levels

c.

  • It is failure at beam column joint
  • It is looking like the column got misplaced after concreting and during which the concrete was unable to set for the required dimensions
  • So it resulted in uneven placement of concrete which caused the exposure of reinforcement
  • During the earthquake due to strong column and weak beam phenomenon the beam got some movement in horizontal Direction which resulted in failure of the joint and rebars got exposed
