Explanation:

  1. Structural cracks are caused by structural issues (e.g., overloading, poor foundation support, design flaws), not typically by moisture changes.

  2. Moisture changes affect non-structural cracks, not usually those that impact the building's structural integrity.

Additional InformationStructural Cracks

Causes:

  • Overloading of structural components (beams, columns, foundations).

  • Foundation settlement or movement due to soil shifts, shrinkage, or expansion.

  • Design or construction defects such as poor material selection, incorrect load calculations, or improper construction techniques.

  • Thermal effects (expansion and contraction due to temperature changes).

  • Seismic or wind forces that exceed the design limits.

Types of Structural Cracks:

  • Vertical Cracks: Often caused by foundation settlement or differential movement.

  • Horizontal Cracks: Typically a result of overloading or bending stresses in beams and slabs.

  • Diagonal Cracks: Can indicate shear failure or settlement issues.

  • Step Cracks: Common in masonry walls due to foundation movement.
