Ceramic Bathroom Tile

ive installed ceramic tile in my bathroom about 18 months ago. the tiles have begun to crack. why?
i used the baskup board, the adhesive, then put the adhesive on each tile.
yes they are on the floor.
how would i know if the floor or frame is shifting?
I would assume that you are talking about tiles on the floor ..that can be a number of things..#1 the floor has movement...should have 2 or more layers of structural plywood or similar product with joints overlapped...and be 1.25" thickness or more...#2 if you used adhesive (glue) is it for floor tiles and are they of the right size...most larger ties need a thinset type mortar...#3..are the tiles you used floor tiles...wall tiles should not be used on the floor...#4..if the adhesive does not support the entire tile any void could create a weak spot and direct pressure would crack the tile..#5.. the actual floor support may not be strong enough or the span too long thus you would get deflection (movement) if the floor moves or flexes your tiles will loosen or crack.
