Expansion <strong>of</strong> Concrete<br />
• When <strong>concrete</strong> cracks, its perme<strong>ability</strong><br />
increases and the aggressive water<br />
penetrates more easily in<strong>to</strong> the interior,<br />
thus accelerating the process <strong>of</strong><br />
deterioration.<br />
• Sometimes, the expansion <strong>of</strong> <strong>concrete</strong><br />
causes serious structural problems.<br />
