Repair of Face Brick Facades Sustained in Reinforced Concrete Slabs
In recent decades face brick facades have been one of the architectural forms used to build the vertical exterior enclosures of buildings. However, some support solutions in the slabs have led to specific problems, especially in high buildings, which have sometimes required very expensive repairs. This chapter presents and briefly discusses the numerous agents that can influence the anomalous behavior of these facades and the most common damage. The knowledge of agents involved in each case in the formation of damage is considered essential to analyze the repair systems that have been applied so far. The information obtained over time on the results of repairs can be used to draw up guidelines on the most appropriate solutions.
