Alleviating the problem of cracking of masonry buildings on expansive clay by building flexibility into the masonry

open access: yesJournal of the South African Institution of Civil Engineering, 2023
Damage caused by soils subject to change in volume beneath light structures, particularly low-cost housing units of masonry construction, is unacceptably frequent. It has led to the demolition of many such units within a small fraction of their design lifespan. Perhaps the most spectacular such failure is Lerato Park in Kimberley, where the development
