"Building Pathology" provides a detailed knowledge of how buildings are constructed, used, occupied and maintained, and the various mechanisms by which their structural, material and environmental conditions can be affected. This book introduces the concept of building pathology and bridges the gap between current approaches to the surveying of buildings and the detailed study of defect diagnosis, prognosis and remediation.
