Q: Non Structural crack in a structure will not be due to _______.
  • A. Thermal movement
  • B. Elastic deformation
  • C. Moisture change
  • D. Overloading
Correct Answer: Option D - Non structural cracks:- These are the cracks that do not suppose any threat to the integrity of concrete structure. they are usually hairline cracks. and they are primarily caused by the natural drying process of concrete, temperature change, Elastic deformation, moisture change and minor stress etc. Structural Cracks:- Structural cracks are more sever and require immediate attention structural cracks classified as plastic shrinkage cracks, settling cracks, expansion cracks, Heaving cracks, over loading cracks etc.
