Minor cracks occur in many buildings, due to expansion and contraction as the building warms and cools, or during slight settlement, usually soon after the building is completed. It is important to find out the reason for the cracking. Cracking is worrying if the width or length of the crack is increasing, or if the individual masonry elements frac...

In painting and decorating, cracking is a defect occurring in paintwork usually because of the application of a hard drying coat of paint over a softer and more elastic coat, with the result that the coats of paint contract and expand differently. Cracking can be caused by not allowing the undercoat enough time to dry.

(in the distillation of petroleum or the like) the process of breaking down certain hydrocarbons into simpler ones of lower boiling points by means of excess heat, distillation under pressure, etc., in order to give a greater yield of low-boiling products than could be obtained by simple distillation. Cf. catalytic cracking.
