EFFECTS OF CRACKING BUILDINGS ON THE LOCAL COMMUNITY

Cracking of buildings is one of the needs in the field of bricklaying and concrete practice as my professional practice that require special attention from both the government, individuals and craftsmen. Although the craftsmen take actions to minimize the extent and severity of the cracking during the building process, it is rarely possible to avoid them entirely. It is most probably that, cracks that are not properly identified and paid attention to may lead to collapse of the structure. if a family building collapses,they may become homes. This therefore exposes them to more dangers like; coldness at nightone, mosquito bits, spending more money to construct a new building and mistrust between the clients and the craftsmen.
