QUALITY ISSUE: CONCRETE HAIRLINE CRACKS

January 31, 2017
MABUHAY!

Another quality issue that requires a careful study on what rectification method to apply is the concrete hairline cracks. This is the most common punch list for rectification during the handover phase of a building construction. Concrete has relatively high compressive strength, but is significantly lower in tensile strength, and as such is usually reinforced with materials that are strong in tension (often steel). The elasticity of concrete is relatively constant at low stress levels but starts decreasing at higher stress levels as matrix cracking develops. Concrete has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, and as it matures concrete shrinks. Due to shrinkage and tension, all concrete structures will crack to some extent. Concrete hairline cracks manifest in many ways:

November is indeed a very busy month for me. Aside from gaining accomplishments from our construction project, there are also personal and social events that really ate up my schedule. This is a photo journal of these events.

INNOVATION: SKIM COAT AND CONCRETE MORTAR BINDER FOR CONCRETE SURFACE CORRECTION

MABUHAY!

Another great product that is very popular nowadays in the area of concrete surface correction is the SKIM COAT. It is an innovative thin plastering mortar formulated to achieve the optimal and consistent concrete surface smoothness on columns, beams or precast walls from 2 to 4mm deep. MORTAR BINDER, on the other hand, is used as a base coat plastering mortar where thicker conventional plastering is required.
