After a six-storey building in Kenyas capital Nairobi collapses killing at least 33 people we look at the common reasons for such incidents
Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials and has a high tendency to form cracks. These cracks lead to significant reduction in concrete service life and high replacement costs. Although it is not possible to prevent crack formation various types of techniques are in place to heal the cracks. It has been shown that some of the current concrete treatment methods such as

Lightweight concrete blocks are made by replacing the sand and gravel with expanded clay shale or slate. Expanded clay shale and slate are produced by crushing the raw materials and heating them to about 2000F 1093C. At this temperature the material bloats or puffs up because of the rapid generation of gases caused by the
