Reflectometry
Building defects in homes in Kingston Jamaica may be considered to be a failing or shortcoming in the function, performance, statutory or user requirements of a building and might manifest itself within the structure, fabric, services or other facilities of the affected building.
Defects Classification
1. Defects affecting habitability - Reflectometry broadly any defect that diminishes the performance of the structure.
2. Defects affecting appearance - any defect of a superficial largely aesthetic nature.
3. Defects affecting safety - any defect that involves or may involve hazard to life.
Causes of defects
1. Faulty design: failure to follow Reflectometry established criteria, for example, Building Regulations,
Codes of Practices, Building Standards and other criteria that is generally acceptable building practices.
2. Faulty execution construction: failure on the part of the builder to effectively carry out a design which was satisfactory in itself and properly specified.
3. Faulty materials, components or proprietary systems: failure of these elements to meet their advertised or otherwise accepted performance levels.
4. Unexpected user requirements: defects caused by the user expecting more from the design than the designer anticipated.
One major problem is that homes in Kingston Jamaica were subject to scrutiny by the KSAC or Kingston and St. Andrew Council. They are constantly overburdened and realistically cannot and could not reach everyone as quickly as possible.
Wall finish defects
External Rendering Defectt:
Surface crazing: This is caused by mixture too rich; sand used in mix is too fine and structural movement.
Spalling: This is caused from poor workmanship, sulfate attack and steel corrosion.
Lack of adhesion: This is caused when the background is too smooth.
Shrinkage cracks: This is caused from too strong a mix.
Building defects
Rot in roof fascia: This is caused from roof sarking cut short of gutter.
Horizontal cracks to eaves of flat concrete roof: Caused by thermal movement.
Concrete lintel sags: Caused from faulty shuttering or formwork.
Fracture in wall: This is caused when there is moisture movement and soil heave.
Crack in wall wider at bottom than top: This is caused from differential settlement of building.
Excessive deflection at centre of beam: This is caused when the beam ends are not adequately supported and the depth not adequate.
