This type of crack appears if concrete gets disturbed in fresh statae.The diagonal mode of failure by sliding along the critical cracks is known as failure by sliding and usually appears at the edges of the supports of beam.It results in a rapid loss of moisture from the concrete.In prehardeing stage these type of cracks are called plastic shrinkage cracks and in hardened stage it is called drying shrinkage crack. Shrinkage cracks occurs in 2 stages ie in prehardening stage and the hardened stage.It is mostly manifested by discoloration of paint or strain of rust. It is usually separate the concrete from the reinforcement. Corrosion cracks in RCC beams runs along the line of reinforcement.However, in torsion, the crack on the far face will be at the opposite angle to that on the front face while in shear the cracks on both faces will be at the same angle If only an isolated portion of the beam is accessible, a torsion crack may appear similar to a shear crack.The cracks basically form a spiral, running up one face of the beam, across the top, down the other side, and back across the bottom to connect with another crack on the first face Pure torsion in a beam is typified by a series of inclined cracks running roughly parallel throughout the length of the member.Occurs when shear capacity of structure is inadequate, or cross section or torsional reinforcement is insufficient.
These cracks are better illustrated as diagonal tension cracks due to combined effect of flexure and shearing action. Shear crack occurs in hardened concrete beams and is usually caused by structural (self-weight) loading or movement.However, in long term, under continous loading, the width gets increased and become uniform across the member.The width of flexural cracks in reinforced concrete beams for short term may stay narrow from the surface to the steel. Cracking in beams subjected to bending starts from tensile zone ie soffit of the beam.Type of concrete crack in beam are as follows:
