Concrete Crack Chasing and Solutions
Shear and bending fractures are the most important fracture modes for unreinforced beams. Flexural rupture due to softness is generally preferred to shear rupture due to brittleness. Because in soft rupture there is a possibility of redistribution of stress and can be a warning to the user, while in sudden rupture due to lack of

Concrete Definition, Components, Grades, Manufacturing
The concrete definition is a composite material composed of fine and coarse aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement (cement paste) that hardens (cures) over time. In the past, lime-based cement binders were often used, such as lime putty, but sometimes with other hydraulic cement, such as a calcium aluminate cement or with Portland cement
