Question

What is the very first crack that occurs in any RCC member, especially if constructed during summer?

A.

Settlement crack

B.

Corrosion spalling crack

C.

Shrinkage crack

D.

Flexural crack

Correct option is C


The very first crack that typically occurs in an RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) member, especially if constructed during summer, is the shrinkage crack. These cracks result from the loss of moisture from the concrete as it cures, particularly in hot weather, leading to shrinkage and cracking. Shrinkage cracks are common in the early stages of concrete setting.
