SLAB CRACK REPAIR CRITERIA CRACKED
Structures are cracked due to the incompatible properties of the concrete. The existence of these honeycombs leaks cracking the structure and even structure could faile if there are severe.

Internal honey combes are more dangerous as there can not see and as a result, they will not be repaired like external honeycombs. Internal honeycombs are not common and external honeycombs can be observed frequently. External honeycombs are visible to the naked eye through the internally formed honeycombs that can not be observed from outside. Reinforcement congestion, leakages of grout, poor compaction, etc are the main causes of honeycombs. It causes due to the poor attention on the construction works.

Poor construction activities and lack of attention of the contractors cause defective work and it leads to additional cost to himself. It is a common observation that the structure is cracked due to the construction defects. The quality of the construction work is nun debatable. Achieving quality control and quality assurance up to the selected level is a must for any construction works.
