What is the 3Rs' rule?
Radial cracks form a right angle on the reverse side of the force.
A skateboarder passes 20 equally spaced cracks in a sidewalk in 5 seconds his average speed is?
Four cracks per second. With the information given in the question, it's not possible to determine a true 'speed' because no distance information is given. If the cracks were 3-ft apart, then his speed was 12 ft per second, or about 8.2 mph. But this is only an example. It can't be assumed, since sidewalk blocks are not standard throughout the US. In general, if 'B' is the length of the sidewalk blocks, then the skater's speed was == 4Bfeet per second == 2.72B miles per hour
What pavement distress is caused mainly by asphalt concrete shrinkage and the daily temperature cycles?
block cracks
What is a shrinkage joint?
A shrinkage joint, or control joint is a separation cut with a finishing handtool into wet concrete sidewalks to 1/4 of the depth of the concrete. Since concrete shrinks a tiny bit as it cures, little tiny cracks may develop . . . the shrinkage joints make those cracks appear in the nice straight joints, thus improving the looks of the new concrete walk. Shrinkage joints may also be cut in after the concrete has cured long enough to stand on (several hours) with a concrete-cutting saw.
What are stress cuts in a concrete pad?
stress cuts also known as relief cuts make weak points in a concrete slab to allow for expansion and shrinkage cracks. Bascially, a concrete slab is going to crack and these cracks control where those cracks occur.
What are the causes of concrete floor cracks?
Underlying soils movemnent. Adding to much water to concrete mix and getting shrinkage cracks. Not curing the concrete with water and it dries to fast.
What is reinforced concrete used for?
Actually concrete is not very good in tension therefore we have to introduce reinforcement which takes care of the tensile stresses. If we don't provide reinforcement, concrete will start showing cracks wherever tensile stresses overcome the concrete tensile strength.
Is cracking at joints acceptable after new pour of concrete?
Cracking at expansion joints is always acceptable and is the reason for the joint itself. There are two kinds of cracks, pretty ones and ugly ones! Ugly ones are random cracks where the concrete relieves itself from drying shrinkage in a random location within the slab of concrete which is normally not appealing to the eye. Expansion joints are placed at predetermined intervals within the slab where random cracks are weakened planes in locations where cracking is predicted prior to fresh concrete placement. All concrete shrinks when it dries, the larger the slab, the greater the overall shrinkage. When the tensile strength of drying shrinkage exceeds the tensile strength of the concrete, cracking will occur. Lets just hopes it cracks in a spot where we planned it instead of a location where didn't. By the way, joints should be cut at least 25% of the depth of the slab.
How can you tell whether cavities in a casting are due to porosity or to shrinkage?
Porosity is a defect, which results from air entrapment in the molten metal due to turbulent flow causing air bubbles. Usually, this defect is characterized by smooth and spherical pores, but if rough and angular it is most likely as a result of shrinkage dendrites. The mechanical properties associated with shrinkage is the thermal expansion of the molten metal when it solidifies and cools to room temperature, if the riser isn't properly designed to accommodate shrinkage, there would be dimensional changes and are usually in form of cracks.
What causes foundation cracks?
The majority of cracks in concrete foundations are a result of shrinkage in the concrete. Shrinkage is a normal occurence and should not be a cause of great concern. Fixing cracks yourself can be done through a process called low presssure crack injection. Urethane is forced into the crack sealing the crack all the way through the wall. The process takes about one hour and a typical kit costs about $100. DIY kits can be purchased at www.thebasementoasis.com or contractor can be found through contacting www.cmemanufacturing.com.
Are horizontal cracks in foundation walls more serious that vertical cracks?
Horizontal cracks in foundation walls are typically more serious than vertical cracks because they can indicate excessive pressure from the soil and may compromise the structural integrity of the foundation. Vertical cracks are more common and can be caused by normal settlement or minor shifting of the foundation. It's important to have a professional assess any cracks in your foundation to determine the severity and appropriate repair solution.
