Study on Causes and Solutions of Cracks on Concrete Hollow Block Wall

Article Preview

Abstract:

Concrete hollow block after being shaped up is possessed of features like strong shrinkage, poor thermal conductivity and repeated contraction after dampness, which leads to many problems in the use of concrete hollow block wall material. This article elaborates the causes of cracks on concrete hollow block wall from multiple perspectives, such as temperature expansion, air shrinkage, construction quality and design structure, and put forward solutions according to the causes from aspects of production, design, construction and technique improvement.
