Guide to the Deterioration and Failure of Building Materials R.O. Heckroodt 2003, 184pp., Hard Cover Thomas Telford Ltd., Stock # 3172 Professionals concerned with the build environment are all too often confronted with cases where building materials failed prematurely. Information required for the understanding of the causes of such failures, for identifying the appropriate remedial action, is generally buried under a mass of other information unwieldy reference volumes. Numerous trade bulletins are also available, but they usually only deal with a particular group of materials. This guide condenses and organizes the relevant information that should allow the professional to take appropriate action, or at least understand the recommendations made by specialists. The distinction between the deterioration and failure of building material and system failure of structures is sometimes rather blurred-this guide is mainly concerned with failure of materials, while system failures are only referred to when the possibility of confusion exists. Information in the work has been condensed and organized as concise synopses and diagnostic tables, backed by overviews ad containing photographs and diagrams to aid the navigation of the reader. Contents include: · Failure of concrete · Metal failures and corrosion · Deterioration of masonry · Tiling failures · Deterioration of timber · Paint failures
