2. Basement waterproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basement_waterproofing

   Cracked walls: Cracks may be horizontal, vertical, diagonal or stair-stepped. Severe pressure or structural damage is evident by widening cracks. Buckling walls: Usually caused by hydrostatic pressure. Walls appear to be bowed inward. Peeling paint: Water seeping through walls may lead to bubbling or peeling paint along basement walls. [4]

3. Frost damage (construction) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frost_damage_(construction)

   Frost damage can occur as cracks, stone splinters and swelling of the material. When water freezes, the volume of water increases by 9 %. [citation needed] When the volumetric moisture content exceeds 91 %, then the volume increase of water in the pores of the material caused by freezing cannot be absorbed by sufficient empty pores. This causes ...

4. Fin (geology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fin_(geology)

   A fin is a geological formation that is a narrow, residual wall of hard sedimentary rock that remains standing after surrounding rock has been eroded away along parallel joints or fractures. Fins are formed when a narrow butte or plateau develops many vertical, parallel cracks.

5. Fracture (geology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fracture_(geology)

   Tensile cracks, also referred to as wing cracks (red) grow at an angle from the edges of the shear fracture allowing the shear fracture to propagate by the coalescing of these tensile fractures. Cracks in rock do not form smooth path like a crack in a car windshield or a highly ductile crack like a ripped plastic grocery bag.

6. Tie (cavity wall) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tie_(cavity_wall)

   Cracks caused by vertical loads leave parts of buildings vulnerable to corrosion, such as eaves and gable walls above purlin positions, or placed directly beneath openings, where the weight on brickwork is light. Over the time, cracks appear from the top of the wall and extend downward.

7. Dike (geology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dike_(geology)

   A magmatic dike (vertical) cross-cutting horizontal layers of sedimentary rock, in Makhtesh Ramon, Israel. In geology, a dike or dyke is a sheet of rock that is formed in a fracture of a pre-existing rock body. Dikes can be either magmatic or sedimentary in origin.

9. Structural integrity and failure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_integrity_and...

   Collapsed barn at Hörsne, Gotland, Sweden Building collapse due to snow weight. Structural integrity and failure is an aspect of engineering that deals with the ability of a structure to support a designed structural load (weight, force, etc.) without breaking and includes the study of past structural failures in order to prevent failures in future designs.
