It could well be "tilting", though that (as with the tower of Pisa) is more usually the result of foundation problems. I think that the more general term "displacement" might be your best bet, or possibly even "displacement from plumb". enders.gov.in/viewtenddoc.asp?tid=chhat573249&wno=2&td=TD 31 May 2013 - In no case , however, shall the displacement from plumb of column tiers exceed 10 mm and the total displacement of the structure as a whole ... www.english-heritage.org.uk/.../caring-historic-graveyard-c... primarily towards the conservation of stone as this is the material from ... in English Heritage's Conservation Principles, Policies and.

As can be seen from the citation below, a wall can be out of plumb without bulging, see you cannot assume that there is a bulge and, in any case, "déversement" is applied to the whole structure not just one wall. "The nave is constructed with chalk and rubble, faced with red bricks externally & internally, the latter being plastered. The south wall is a little out of plumb, and the north wall very much so; the latter also bulges outwards considerably. A line stretched taut from the tower end to the chancel end of the wall, reveals the fact that it bulges 8¼ inches outwards in the centre, while it is 7¼ inches out of plumb in its total height for nearly the whole length." http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=117216 |
