Figure: Minor Crack On Wall

The document discusses cracks found in an aging building. An inspection found cracks and fractures in the walls on the ground and first floors. Measurements with a vernier caliper showed the cracks were minor. While the cracks were not serious, the fractures in columns and window frames were of greater concern as they could lead to dampness and other issues over time. The recommendation was to repair cracks using methods like applying caulk or cement coating, then plaster and paint the walls.
