Practical Guide to Diagnosing Structural Movement in Buildings - Tapa blanda

We would go so far as to say that this is an excellent first read for new surveyors who are developing an understanding of structural defects and a very useful guide for those who want to understand more about what may be encountered when looking at buildings. (Property Care Association, 1 September 2012)

Many surveyors are nervous about diagnosing cracks observed in a building. This is understandable, as the interpretation of cracks can be difficult to teach, with university courses providing little or no time for field experience. Yet by understanding one straightforward principle, the majority of cracks can be diagnosed in just a few minutes. This book provides a methodology by which cracks and movement in buildings can be diagnosed. Essential reading for the relatively inexperienced surveyor or engineer and undergraduate students of surveying as a practical guide for use on site.
