- More about Expert Knowledge-based Inspection Systems: Inspection, Diagnosis, and Repair of the Building Envelope
This book provides a novel approach to building pathology in current buildings, presenting a systematic perspective on the building envelope. It addresses natural stone claddings, adhesive ceramic tiling, renders, painted surfaces, External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS), architectural concrete surfaces, windows and doors framing, and claddings for pitched and flat roofs. It proposes a global classification system for defects and their probable causes, along with in situ diagnosis methods and repair techniques. Selected case studies are presented to illustrate the value of a guidance system in fieldwork.

This comprehensive book offers a novel approach to understanding and diagnosing pathology in modern buildings. Drawing on a wealth of literature, hands-on experience, and fieldwork inspections, it presents a systematic perspective on the various components of the building envelope, including natural stone claddings, adhesive ceramic tiling, renders, painted surfaces, External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS), architectural concrete surfaces, windows and doors framing, and claddings for pitched and flat roofs.
In addition to discussing selected materials and construction elements, the book proposes a comprehensive classification system for defects and their potential causes. It also includes in-situ diagnosis methods and repair techniques, along with identifying the relationships between defects and their origins. These connections are presented in the form of correlation matrices, providing a deeper understanding of the underlying issues.
To enhance the practicality of the information, the book includes support files with detailed information and an inspection form. Selected case studies are presented to illustrate the value of a guidance system in fieldwork, showcasing real-world applications of the principles discussed.
With its extensive scope, this book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, building inspectors, civil engineers, architects, and maintenance planners. It provides a thorough understanding of the pathology of modern buildings, enabling professionals to identify and address defects effectively, ensuring the longevity and safety of these structures.
