Expert knowledge-based inspection systems inspection, diagnosis, and repair of the building envelope / Jorge de Brito, Clara Pereira, José D. Silvestre, Inês Flores-Colen.

This book provides a novel approach to building pathology in current buildings. Drawing on the available literature, hands-on experience and fieldwork inspections, it presents a systematic perspective on the pathology of the building envelope. The book addresses natural stone claddings, adhesive cer...
