The document discusses various common defects seen in building construction such as cracks within structures, dampness defects, and poor workmanship. It provides 11 examples of cracking within structures like diagonal cracks in brick walls, horizontal cracks in mortar joints, random cracks in flooring, and cracks at joints between concrete and masonry. It also discusses 4 cases of dampness defects including dampness in ceilings from roof leaks and seepage in walls. Finally, it briefly mentions one example of poor workmanship - cracks in brickwork due to lack of proper tying-in. The document provides detailed causes and remedies for each of the discussed construction defects.
The document discusses various types of building construction defects such as fungal stains, erosion of mortar joints, peeling paint, defective plastered renderings, cracking walls, decayed floorboards, insect attacks, roof defects, dampness penetration, unstable foundations, and poor installation of air conditioning units. It provides details on the causes and symptoms of each type of defect.
This document discusses various construction defects caused by dampness and applied forces. It describes defects like cracks in walls due to differential settlement from soil moisture changes or structural overloading. It also discusses defects from lack of expansion joints in walls, issues where rigid slabs meet load-bearing walls without slip joints, and rising dampness from lack of damp proofing. Remedies include proper drainage, deep foundations, avoiding overloading, and installing damp proof courses.
This document provides information on straw bale home construction including basics, concerns with moisture intrusion, foundation design, exterior design, interior design, plumbing routing, plaster types and application, and crack diagnostics. Straw bale homes can be load-bearing or non-load bearing and are typically plastered on the interior and exterior with cement, earthen, lime or gypsum plasters applied in multiple coats. Moisture intrusion is a key concern and design features aim to prevent moisture from entering or trapping in the walls.
1. There were three main reasons for the deterioration of the brick facade at the building in Valencia, Spain: the absence of control joints, an inadequate use of gripping material, and exposure to sun and rain effects like temperature gradients and humidity changes.
2. The brick layer covering the front of a floor slab detached due to incorrect specification of material layer thickness and a lack of supervision during construction resulting in poor connection between the brick layer and wall surface.
3. High relative humidity and lack of ventilation inside the building, as well as a lack of proper training for workers, contributed to the brick detaching from the external wall.
This document provides an overview of moisture and dampness in buildings. It defines dampness as excess moisture entering a building through floors, walls, or roofs. It identifies four main types of dampness based on moisture movement: rising damp, penetration damp, condensation damp, and outlines their causes. The effects of dampness include aesthetic issues, dry rot, corrosion, and health hazards. Remedial measures discussed include damp proof courses, waterproofing, and special techniques. Practical advice is given to reduce excessive moisture through proper ventilation and drainage, and timely repairs.

The traditional representation of women (questions)ellen brown
The document discusses the traditional representation of women in media texts such as films and magazines. It provides details on tropes like the "final girl" in horror films and the four common roles of women in media identified in 1983: domestic, sexual, consumer, and marital.

The document also discusses how some characters like Lara Croft are seen as a step back from earlier stronger female protagonists like Ripley in Alien due to increased sexual objectification. Magazines are also noted to often portray women based on their domestic roles, sexuality, and through the "three C's"
