This portion of the wall sustained heavy impact load (tree fall) and has visible shear cracks

above mid height. It has also leaned slightly outwards. This wall needs to be replaced.
- Wall along grid G between grid 2&3
This portion of the wall also sustained heavy impact (tree fall) and has cracked at upper
portions. Shear cracks indicate the wall has failed at beam connection. This wall need to
be replaced.
- Wall along grid B between grid 3&5
This wall has visible horizontal & vertical hairline cracks along the block joints. This is
probably due to thermal and moisture changes. This is repairable using suitable grout.
There are also slim shear cracks on the left side of the wall. The crack width is not
substantial and thus, can be also remedied by epoxy grouting.
