Weaponry in structural surveys – 2 Common building defects and their diagnosis

Abstract

This paper reviews the most common building defects and techniques for their diagnosis. Problem areas are listed by their location within a structure and the information is presented in tabular form for easy reference. The first paper in this series — ‘Effective diagnosis of material problems and defects in building and construction’ — was published in Structural Survey Volume 4 Number 1. Part 3 will be an appraisal of better known in situ testing and NDT techniques featuring specific items of equipment.
