The conventional and unconventional materials, modern engineering methods and technologies employed in the restoration and reconstruction of architectural heritage are the topics of the aggregated edition “Restoration of Architectural Heritage". The book contains the scientific articles selected from the materials published by Trans Tech Publications Inc. from 2010 to 2016 inclusive. We hope this collection will be useful for many readers whose activity refers to the architectural heritage preservation sphere.
The 36 papers are grouped as follows:
Chapter 1: Historical and Artistic Area,
Chapter 2: Structural Area,
Chapter 3: Computational and Technological Area
Proceedings of the 14th Conference on the Rehabilitation and Reconstruction of Buildings, featuring international participation, within which new trends and procedures in the field of building rehabilitation were discussed at an international level.
The papers are grouped as follows:
Chapter 1: Timber Protection;
Chapter 2: Surface Treatments;
Chapter 3: Rehabilitation of Masonry;
Chapter 4: Maintenance of Concrete Structures;
Chapter 5: Physicochemical Bases of Building Materials;
Chapter 6: Statics and Dynamics of Buildings.
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.
