Description
Structural Investigation of Historic Buildings offers a toolkit for giving our historic built environment a second life. Conservation of existing structures has obvious economic and social value. Moreover, historic structures provide an excellent laboratory for studying aspects of structural engineering, materials science, forensic engineering, and building design.
Structural Investigation of Historic Buildings provides a practical guide for consulting structural engineers and others on dealing with issues unique to historic structures. Emphasising structural evaluation and condition assessment based on sound preservation philosophy, but without burdening the reader with tedious calculations, the book discusses the role of the structural engineer in the evaluation and preservation process and discusses such topics as structural safety, analysis, and conservation.
Engaging case studies, drawn from the author's own practice, feature a description of the project and its history, a condition assessment, structural analysis, discussion, recommendations, and a description of the subsequent intervention as executed with drawings and photographs.
