		<description><![CDATA[Building settlement and cracked concrete are simple facts of life in construction. However, though all structures experience settling in one fashion or another, the level or degree of the settlement determines whether or not problems will result. This occurrence also is a reality for sites slated for redevelopment if they are located in close proximity [...]]]></description>
