When a masonry wall is cracking, bending, or leaning is usually due to an inadequate lay-out of steel reinforcing, foundation failure, or unanticipated major structural stress. Steel reinforcing on masonry cells have to be in contact with the mortar from the bottom to the top. It is not unusual to find empty cells or discontinuous reinforcing steel in the masonry. In order to check if the reinforcing of the masonry wall was built in accordance to drawings and specifications, a non-destructive mapping of steel can be performed using Ground Penetrating Radar technology to determine the spacing of the reinforcing steel.
