Hi everyone,
I am looking for general information on London medium rise tower blocks build in the 1950s or later.
Is there any literature with case studies showing typical construction details of that age? Looking for floor types, masonry strengths, wall construction and general information about the structure.
Thanks

Google "Ronan point"!!

Lots of concrete, but I'm not sure there was a "typical construction".

Remember - More details = better answers
