Damage in face-brick facades placed between concrete slabs

Sustainable building repair: A K-means approach to addressing fissures in ceramic brick partition walls

“…In the literature, Diaz et al [16] presents several cases of deterioration in brick walls façades that were between concrete slabs in Spain, analyzing 22 buildings in various Spanish locations. Although it does not provide solutions or analyze the environmental impact of these repairs, it emphasizes the need to observe the buildings behavior.…”

“…Most existing studies pertain to laboratory analyses [11,12] or computational models [13,14], in which performance improvements are studied. On the contrary, there are not many studies focusing on real cases [15,16], or on this solution's actual construction (either its commissioning or to any of its anomalies). In other words, the vast majority of existing research focuses more in the study of the constituent materials themselves (sometimes in combination with other materials), through their physical, chemical, or mechanical characterisation [ [17], [18], [19], [20]].…”
