Analysis Causes Damage and Prevention of Concrete

Abstract

In the process of construction and post-construction, various problems can often be encountered, with one of them being damage to the concrete which can cause weakening of the concrete structure or damage to the concrete structure. Therefore, the need to prevent such damage by analyzing the causes of damage can be minimized. This research was carried out in collaboration with the contractor, where the first step taken was direct observation and interviews with the implementing contractor. By aiming to get primary data and secondary data so that data conclusions can be made and knowing the causes of damage to concrete structures in the construction phase can then provide advice on preventing damage to concrete structures that can be done. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the potential causes of damaging the concrete structure in the construction phase were problems with the height of the fall of casting, errors in construction, execution, vibrators, and errors in the installation of begisting.
