Proceedings of the "19th Conference on the Rehabilitation and Reconstruction of Buildings" are the result of discussion new trends and procedures in the field of rehabilitation and reconstruction of buildings and structures. This collection will be useful and interesting for many engineers and researchers which activity is related to this area of construction.
The 59 papers are grouped as follows:
Chapter 1: Protection and Remediation of Wood Structures;
Chapter 2: Surface Treatment;
Chapter 3: Restoration of Stone;
Chapter 4: Redevelopment of Masonry;
Chapter 5: Redevelopment of Concrete Structures;
Chapter 6: Materials Properties and Measurements in Building;
Chapter 7: Static and Dynamic Analysis of Buildings and Constructions
The book covers a broad range of topics regarding the assessment and conservation of timber structures, with papers subdivided into ten themes: Assessment and conservation; Timber grading; Assessment by non-destructive methods and survey techniques; Assessment by testing and modeling; Reinforcement and treatment of timber elements; Strengthening of connections; Upgrading of timber structures; Monitoring; Learning from case studies; Codes and guidelines. The book will be of valuable use and precious help for consultants, specialists, practitioners as well as for researchers and scholars for what concerns assessment, conservation, repair and monitoring of timber structures and wood artifacts.

Increasing urbanization constitutes a mounting threat to cultural heritage sites around the world; especially in developing countries. Natural and man-made environmental hazards are causing more damage to historic constructions than ever before. The conservation of historical constructions is facing new challenges introduced by waves of immigration and industrialization. The present papers on this subject are organized into two volumes, and the topics of interest span the entire spectrum of structural analyses of historic constructions: including Materials and Structural Configuration, Structural Inspection and Monitoring, Structural Analysis and Assessment, Seismic Analysis and Evaluation, Strengthening Technologies, Rehabilitation and Retrofitting and Sustainable Utilization of Historic Constructions in China. It is the hope of the editors that this special collection will stimulate scientists and technologists to develop further theories and technologies and help them in their endeavors in conserving historic constructions, now and tomorrow.
