This paper presents a technique for measuring the temperature distribution of a wall tile structure in the thickness direction. An experimental specimen is made in order to simulate the external wall tile attached to concrete substrate subjected to solar radiation and thermography is used to measure the temperature distribution on the side surface of the specimen. The obtained temperature distribution of tile, adhesive mortar and concrete substrate is then used in calculating the thermal stresses at the interface. The result shows that the shear stress in tile system is more dominant than the normal stress. The shear stress was found to reach 2.6 MPa, while the normal stress was 0.008 MPa when the temperature of the tile surface reaches 50degrees Celsius. Further studies are required to identify the interfacial shear and normal strength inorder to quantify the thermal effect in tile delamination.
