Cracking is one of the major challenge faced by Civil Engineer Cracking in structures is common occurrence and engineers are often required to look into their causes and to carry out suitable repairs and remedial measures. For repairs and remedies to be effective, it is essential that the engineer should have proper understanding of various causes of cracking.. It will also be necessary for the engineer to know as to when the cracks first came to notice and whether the cracks are structural or non-structural.
Structural cracks are those which create lot of threats and are due to Poor Quality & Material, overloading and these may endanger the safety of a building. Non-structural cracks which are due to moisture changes, thermal variations, elastic deformation, creep, chemical reaction, foundation movement and settlement of soil, vegetation, etc. Non-structural cracks can occur due to various reasons poor workmanship, improper curing etc. In this work a basic study is done cracks on wall and remedial measures to eliminate cracks lot of references were studied and practically cracks were measured and eradicated
Self-healing, bacteria-based, cracks repair
