Pathology
The study of building pathology in a systemised way should privilege the development of classification lists. Defects and their probable causes are organised as diagnosis tools in the form of classification lists, providing a sound knowledge base to the surveyor. These lists should be easy to refer to, organising defects and their probable causes in a logical sequence. In the context of a global inspection system for the non-structural building envelope, the classification of defects is organised into four categories: defects of physical, chemical and mechanical nature, and other defects. As for probable causes of defects, five categories are devised: design errors; execution errors; mechanical actions; environmental actions; and use and maintenance errors. Using both lists, the relationship between each defect and each cause is determined according to the probable contribution of the causes to the occurrence of a defect. That relationship is identified in the correlation matrix between defects and probable causes. Furthermore, and considering that often defects occur in a sequence, defects are associated in an inter-defects correlation matrix, which is based on the defects–causes correlation matrix and provides the probability of occurrence of a defect when another occurs.
