Analysis of a database of subsidence damage
Crilly, M.
Analysis of a database of subsidence damage - 2001 - Structural Survey 19 no. 1 2001, 7-14(7) .
Reports on the Building Research Establishment's clay subsidence/heave damage database relating 484 individual cases of damage due to the swelling or shrinking of clay subsoils. The data has been analysed and implications for the investigation of subsidence claims are examined. The analysis concludes that detached properties are most vulnerable to subsidence or heave claims with properties built prior to 1900 less susceptible to damage than those built in the 1900-1944 period.
