This article discusses the problem related to the appearance of defects in masonry cladding layer of self-supporting walls of buildings with monolithic concrete frame as exemplified with the inspection of buildings under construction in the residential quarters of “October” district of Novocherkassk. As a result of the survey by OOO “SPU” specific defects in the self-supporting layer of facing walls of buildings were identified and described and their causes were identified. Based on the existing expertise, instrumental testing of the construction materials, conducted by a certified testing laboratory, the survey materials present an overview of the causes for the identified defects as studied by other professionals and organizations, one of the leading of which is CNIISK. VA Kucherenko. Based on the results of the systematic analysis of the detected defects and instrumental research data the authors proposed several solutions aimed at eliminating the defects and bringing the building up to the standard.
