Given that understanding, much can be done to avoid their occurrence, and to diagnose their cause and repair them so that they do not recur.

It is hoped that readers will find merit in this book in that it collects relevant information into one source, treats cracking in buildings as a subject in its own right and provides a systematic approach to whatever is the reader's role in the building business. Its content should therefore be of interest to all who own, occupy, design, build and maintain buildings.
