ABSTRACT: Concrete is widely used in building construction and has made considerable con-
tribution to modern architecture with its superb quality. In this paper, the cause of concrete cracks
during construction was examined. First, the cracking in concrete was outlined from the proper-
ties of the material used and from the mechanical mechanism underlying this phenomenon. Next,
the effect of the internal composition and external environment
