Abstract
This paper suggests a framework for the systematic investigation of cracking in low‐rise buildings. The procedure to follow is described in detail and monitoring equipment is recommended. A data‐gathering and assessment methodology is presented and the important question of whether the cracking is “significant” is considered.
