compressive strength. Due to such a low tensile capacity‚ flexural cracks develop at early stages of loading. In order to reduce or prevent such cracks from developing‚ a concentric or eccentric force is imposed in the longitudinal direction of the structural element. This force prevents the cracks from developing by eliminating or considerably reducing the tensile stresses at the critical midspan and support sections at service load‚ thereby raising the bending‚ shear‚ and torsional capacities of the

Demolition There are typically 5 predominant reasons why a structure may be demolished‚ these may include: Insufficient foundation – This refers to the condition that may become apparent when certain symptoms appear. These may include the floor of the structure becoming uneven‚ cracks running throughout the exterior or interior of the structure walls. Typically‚ weak foundations can originate from insufficient land due to sinking. Another common cause would be that the foundation components and materials
