Download or read book Practical Guide to Diagnosing Structural Movement in Buildings written by Malcolm Holland and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What's the Crack?" When cracking is observed in a building the most common reaction is that it must be the foundations and that it must be serious. Many surveyors are nervous about diagnosing cracks. 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. Linking this with a good knowledge of construction techniques, the factors that distort cracking patterns and the key features of common causes of cracking, almost all cracks can be diagnosed quickly and with confidence. Practical Guide to Diagnosing Structural Movement in Buildings provides a methodology by which cracks and movement in buildings can be diagnosed. Written in four parts, part one describes the key principles of movement and cracking. Parts two and three describe the main features of common forms of movement and the associated crack patterns. Part two covers causes other than ground or foundation movement and part three covers movement caused by ground or foundation problems. Part four briefly describes the techniques used to arrest further movement or repair damage cause by movement. Primarily intended for the relatively inexperienced surveyor or engineer and undergraduate students of surveying as a practical guide for use on site, it focuses on identification and diagnosis. It will not only help in correctly diagnosing the problem but it will also demonstrate a methodical approach to show and record how the diagnosis was reached – critical when giving advice to third parties. "What's the crack?" - In the vast majority of cases it's not foundation related and in most cases it's not indicating a serious defect.

Download or read book Cracks Caused by Foundation Movement written by Building Research Establishment and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly all buildings have cracks in them. There are many different causes of cracking, but most of them are not associated with foundation movement - cracks are much more likely to be the result of changes induced by moisture or temperature. The possibility that cracking may indicate progressive foundation movement, sometimes results in expensive, and unnecessary, remedial work. There has beeen a dramatic increase in demand for remedial underpinning since the early 1970s, but this is largely attributable to factors not directly related to construction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A Well-Managed Building, Maintenance Work Should In Fact, Continue Throughout The Year Under An Adequate Preventive Maintenance Policy. ``Prevention Is Better Than Cure`` Is An Axiom Well-Applicable To The Maintenance Of Buildings Also.It Is Not That The Related Information Is Not Available. It Is Scattered Over Many Pamphlets And Books. An Individual; Does Not Have Access To Many Of Books And Libraries. Thus, There Is A Need For A Compilation Of Most Of The Available Information. In This Book, An Attempt Has Been Made To Compile This Information. The Idea Has Been To Present It In A Single Book Form.A Book Of This Nature Has Obviously To Depend Upon Published Books Both Indian And Foreign, Articles And Pamphlets. The Author Has Drawn Freely From All These Sources. But The Book Is Not A Compilation Only. The Information Has Been Digested And Put Up In An Intelligible Form. The Author Has Supplemented The Information With The Experience He Has Gathered Over 34 Years Of Civil And Other Engineering In The Field.

Download or read book Crack Capitalism written by John Holloway and published by Pluto Press. This book was released on 2010-06-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crack Capitalism, argues that radical change can only come about through the creation, expansion and multiplication of weak points, or "cracks" in the capitalist system. John Holloway's previous book, Change the World Without Taking Power, sparked a world-wide debate among activists about the most effective methods of resisting capitalism. Now Holloway rejects the idea of a disconnected plurality of struggles and finds a unifying contradiction -- the opposition between the time we spend working as part of the system and our excess "doing" where we revolt and refuse to be subsumed. Clearly and accessibly presented in the form of 33 theses, Crack Capitalism is set to reopen the debate among radical scholars and activists seeking to break capitalism.

Understanding Housing Defects provides a concise, coherent and comprehensive introduction to the causes, investigation and diagnosis of housing defects. It is aimed at all those students and practitioners who require a broad understanding of housing defects as part of a wider sphere of academic or professional activity. The book has three specific objectives, to explain why, and how, defects occur. To enable the reader to recognise and identify building defects and to provide, where appropriate, guidance on their correct diagnosis. The authors have worked in both public and private sectors and have, between them over 75 years’ experience in dealing with housing and general building defects. Currently, they are all lecturers at the University of the West England, where they teach on a variety of undergraduate and post-graduate courses. They are also actively involved in carrying out research and consultancy for a number of property owning organisations throughout the UK.
