Quality; a big challenge in the building practice

Definition – is a measurement of standard of work that determines its strength, appearance, durability etc. lack of quality always resulted to failures in building practice.

In a building, a wall develops cracks and it is rooted down to the foundation trench and later affects the artificial foundation which is built to carry the loads of the superstructure. These cause the building to collapse without taking its lifespan.

Identification of the challenges for achieving quality work in building practice:

The cracks that affect the foundation wall emerge from the ground, defending on the type of the soil on which the building is built on. For example, there are minor cracks seen in walls built on moderate firm ground than those build in black cotton soil.

The cracks that cause the building to collapse normally emerge from the base of the projecting perpendicularly to the eaves of the building causing weakness to wall to resist the weight of the roof and causing it to give way and eventually causing total collapsing of the building structure.

The cracks cause failure in achieving the quality work in the building practice and with this, there is a need to find solution for this challenge.

In black cotton soil, the ground normally shrinks in dry season and swells in wet season that causes a lot of climatic atmospheric changes which resulted to cracks greatly than in the moderately firm ground.

What shall be done to improve the failures of quality of work in the building practice that is cause by the cracks?

What skills shall be applied to eliminate the cracks that emerge right under the wall foundations which greatly cause the collapsing of buildings?

I could  like the viewers, readers and professionals of this field to give me a help, so as to overcome this crucial technical challenges stated as above in this article.
