As tiles are getting larger in size nowadays, interior ceramic tiles are often partly broken near joints and regularly cracked on the surface - Tile Side Breakage - after the attachment. In this study, large bathroom in real size was built to measure bond strength and ratio of length change, observe cracks and breakages with naked eye, and conduct the freeze-thaw experiment. Then, these factors were analyzed to identify the cause of Side Breakage and suggest the preventive measure. As a result, cement mortar enhances bond strength of the tile and resistance to cracks, and the more edges which is open, the more cracks tiles develop. Also, the installation of silicon expansion joints is considered as the most effective prevention method of Side Breakage. |
