The document discusses the prevention and repair of cracks in concrete structures. It classifies cracks into two categories: structural cracks, which are due to incorrect design, faulty construction, or overloading and can endanger building safety, and non-structural cracks, which are due to internally induced stresses in building materials and do not endanger safety but may create the impression of faulty work or instability. The document was authored by several engineers and guided by an expert in the field.
