| Defects and Deterioration in Building |
|
|
| Many types of defects and deterioration can occur in buildings. These range from structural defects to noise problems, from concrete to plumbing. Buildings have always suffered from these problems, but changes in construction techniques and materials, and the increased stringency of health and energy construction requirements have introduced greater challenges and increases in levels of responsibility. In this thoroughly revised new edition, the reader is guided through the most significant problems, e.g. structural, external and health and safety related. Newly emerging problems which are introduced or given fuller coverage include sick building syndrome, failures of cavity fill insulation, outgassing, sulphate and chloride attack of cement-based materials, stainless steel corrosion, brick spalling and vapour permeability. |
