TYPES OF CRACKS IN CONCRETE BEAMS

1. Cracks in concrete beams due to increased shear stress

2. Cracks in concrete beams due to corrosion or insufficient concrete cover

3. Cracks parallel to main steel in case of corrosion in beams

4. Cracks due to increased bending stress in beams

5. Cracks due to compression failure in beams

TYPES OF CRACKS IN REINFORCED CONCRETE COLUMNS

1. Cracks due to eccentricity in concrete columns

2. Cracks due to corrosion of reinforcement in concrete columns

3. Cracks due to increased column load
