Causes of Failure in RCC Structure: 1. Design Failure - - Improper study of the soil below. - Less reinforcement in some areas leading to generation of some unforeseen stresses. 2. Failure due to Improper construction technique - - Inadequate compaction of concrete. - Inadequate curing resulting in shrinkage cracks. - Increased w/c cement ration to increase workability. - Wrong placement of reinforcement. 3. Failure due to chemical attacks 4. Failure due to bad quality of Materials used. 5. Some other causes of defects in concrete are - Mechanical - Overload, Movement, Explosion, Vibrations Physical - Thermal Effects, Salt Crystallization, Shrinkage For more facts like this follow us on @horizoninfradesigns #horizoninfradesign #hidpl #rccstructure #structuralfail #factsofcivilengineer #civilengineeringfacts #intrestingfacts
