The result of condensation on the back of an exterior masonry wall is often visible as a wetness pattern on the face of the wall. The upward movement of warm air in the cavity is frequently blocked by such things as shelf angles, frames around grilles for air intake and exhaust, and other obstructions such as loose insulation.  3, record 7, English, - cavity

Record number: 7, Textual support number: 2 CONT

Many houses built between 1950 and 1980 were constructed with cavity walls without incorporating any insulation measures. Heat loss through the walls of a house can be as much as 50% in this case. The standard practice to install cavity wall insulation involves filling the cavity with pumped-in insulating material.  4, record 7, English, - cavity

A similar concept to that of the multi-anchored wall incorporating looped geotextiles is that of the tyre-reinforced buttress.... This technique has been used to support an old rumbling masonry retaining wall and makes use of worn tyres and a strip geotextile.... The tyres buried at the rear of the reinforced buttress are linked to the face tyres with a strip geotextile, and act as a series of small anchors. for aesthetic reasons, the outer face of the buttress will usually be hydra-seeded after completion.  1, record 9, English, - strip%20geotextile
