Quantification of the percentage of existing damage in internal coatings of Spanish houses

Internal coatings are among those construction units which experience the most interaction with users, given their proximity to them. This research focuses on determining the most usual damages in tiling, cement renders, plasters, suspended ceilings and indoor flooring from all of Spain, as per the...

Description
Summary:Internal coatings are among those construction units which experience the most interaction with users, given their proximity to them. This research focuses on determining the most usual damages in tiling, cement renders, plasters, suspended ceilings and indoor flooring from all of Spain, as per the requirements indicated by the users. In addition, the causes of these deficiencies are also found, as well as their percentage according to the type of construction they are found in (flats or houses). From the data used, the most typical groups of damages are indicated, as well as a procedure to determine the probability of future damages, according to a weighted matrix classifying the correspondence between 4 descriptors. The knowledge of these results will assist technicians to minimise damages in these types of construction units. © 2019 CSIC.
