Golden Rule

I have yet to lay tile directly over gypcrete, but I come across a HO who had laid tile over gyp shortly after it was poured. The house is an engineered log home. She has lots of cracks in her 12" x 12" ceramic tile. I am assuming they are primarily caused by settling, but I am wondering if any of you have had problems putting tile over gyp. Her floor joists are BCI's i would assume, but I can't verify whether or not they used bridging. I don't plan to replace to tile but i am wondering if structural settling translates more drasticly through gyp to tile vs other forms of tile backing. Thanks.

gyp is not an approved sub strate for tiling even ditra won't help there. Backers are for uncoupling not strength.

Thanks. That was what I was thinking. I listed the framing info because I know poorly framed floors are bouncy and bad for tile. Thanks tho exactly what I was looking for.
