Outlines the most common causes of movements in masonry buildings, how they should be avoided by design measures and, if cracking has occurred, how the cause may be identified. Discusses moisture movements in materials, temperature changes, strains resulting from applied loads, foundation movements and chemical reactions in materials. Examines methods of accommodating movement and the assessment of damage. Suggests the structure of an examination undertaken by a surveyor on discovering masonry cracks.
