Causes of Deterioration in Buildings

  • Summary

  • In this episode we discuss the most common forms of defects and deterioration that can occur on concrete structures and how they occur. Among the causes of structural degradation, the deterioration from biological sources in harsh environments was found to be significant. Moisture is the most common cause for building deterioration. Adding exterior wall sintered integrated panel is the most cost-effective way to get rid of deterioration in buildings.

    A building that does not take care of its maintenance can have several defects that can lead to structural failure. For example, there are significant problems that can lead to loss of structural integrity, such as the lack of proper ventilation and ventilation systems. 

    Although there are many factors that motivate the decay of a material, building materials tend to decay with age and use. A building built from a durable original material has a better chance of withstanding decay than a building built from inferior materials. If good concrete is used but poorly processed, this means that the concrete structure will fail due to lack of maintenance and care of the original materials, not due to wear and tear. 

    It is crucial for the bridge inspector to understand the type of distress that causes the decay process. Since many of the symptoms can be caused by several mechanisms acting on concrete, it is necessary to understand the underlying causes and their causes well.
