Symptoms of Stem Wall Failure: Vertical Concrete Cracks
Concrete cracks in a stem wall are very common symptoms of stem wall failure. The problem is that when the stem wall gets to this point, the probability of having to change most of the stem wall components is very high.
Symptoms of Stem Wall Failure: Horizontal Concrete Cracks
On the other hand, every crack had a different meaning when it comes to stem wall failure. In this case, we have a horizontal concrete crack which means that the corrosion problem started in the rebar and then it spread to the rest of the stem wall components.
Symptoms of Stem Wall Failure: Spalling Concrete
Spalling concrete is the last and the worst of all the symptoms of stem wall failure. The reason why spalling concrete is the worst symptom is that it is very noticeable, and when the stem wall gets to this point, it means that all the rebar will need to get replaced.
