Masonry surface cracks are
objectionable because they are the primary source of water permeance and
may be aesthetically displeasing or indicative of structural distress.
Cracks are the most frequent cause for masonry's failure to perform as
intended. The types, locations, patterns, sizes, and causes of cracks
are discussed. Methods are described for their prevention and repair.
