Topic: Cracks in brick walls in 5th floor apartment

I purchased apartment in 5th floor which is top floor in 2008.  In one bed roo, cracks developed vertically. In another bed room, cracks developed horizontally. I got removed plaster near cracks and did patch work two years ago. But cracks developed again. In third master bed room, there are no cracks at all. How can I get removed these cracks permanently. I expert advise. I live in Vijayawada.

Mr. Gupta’s suggestion is quite detailed and informative. Adding to this, I feel, the polymer used to seal this is also an important factor. Since breaking everything and adding in new bricks and stuff would cause lot of debris and cost, filing the cracks should be the best option. I have used Roff crackfill in the past to fill cracks of about 4 mm in the plastered surface on the walls of my house. It not only has fixed the problem but the filler has remained intact for over a year now.
