Professor Dreger of the College of Architecture at the Georgia Institute of Technology highlights the synergistic effect of the discrete conditions which individually contributed to the failure of the exterior stucco cladding system of the newly completed US$35 million Justice Center in Fort Myers, Florida in March 1985. He discusses the severe corrosion of the metal fixing components, the high level of water-soluble chlorides, and the phenomena of both 'stress corrosion' and 'crevice corrosion'.
