Performance study of external wall tiling by pull-off test

With the wide use of the external wall tiling as the finishing system of buildings, system failures such as tile falling, buckling, cracking and adhesive delamination have been reported in many countries, including Singapore. These problems lead to the controversy as to whether it is necessary to in...
