#Loudlab fluctus crack#
The walls of houses that have wooden frames under drywall without any intermediary layer, contraction joints, and/or control joints crack quite often during and immediately after winter because of the very different ways in which wood and drywall contract and expand as a result of temperature changes.
On the other hand, using too little cement will result in a weak and non-durable concrete that cracks under normal, or even moderate, stresses and loads.īesides temperature fluctuations, even the normal passage of seasons and their more gradual temperature variations can cause certain types of walls or ceilings to crack. Using too much cement in the mix will result in high heat of hydration and stresses due to shrinkage, with consequent cracking. On the other hand, seismic activity and shock damages walls and ceilings of houses throughout Turkey but not in Scotland.Īlso, one and the same cause, incorrect ratios, may result in cracks, but through entirely different intermediary causes. For instance, dampness and water damage cause cracks to a fair number of walls and ceilings of structures in Scotland but not so much in Turkey.
These different causes damage structures with varying frequencies depending on geographical locations. Shifting or settling of the foundation or the house itself.Vibrations from heavy traffic, nearby highways, underground rail, and nearby construction activity.Fluctuations in temperature, particularly sharp ones and repeated ones.Dampness and water damage (groundwater or rainwater).Incorrect ratio of sand, aggregate, and cement.Often they are rooted in one or more of the following causes: Cracks in your walls and ceilings can be very unsightly and on rare occasions, they may signify some more serious issues.
