Description

A Book By:

Robert Bowles, MA Cambridge Corpus Christi College MIStructE, Alan Baxter and Associates, London, UK

Description
This practical guide to the assessment and repair of historic buildings is invaluable for structural engineers, architects, surveyors and builders working in all aspects of building conservation. Taking a practical step-by-step approach, the authors discuss the appraisal of buildings and the differences in structural behaviour between new and existing structures. Each stage in the appraisal is explained, using examples from the authors' own work. Each major construction material is assessed in detail, with separate sections on masonry, concrete, timber and the particularly complex issues of iron and steel framed buildings. Techniques for testing the ability of a building to continue its existing use or to be converted to a new use are explained.

Audience
Persons involved in investigation, conservation and adaptive re-use of existing buildings. The book may be useful, not just for "historic" buildings but for existing buildings generally. Lecturers and students on post-graduate courses in building conservation and building surveying. Building professionals with an interest in the history and performance of past construction - Architects, Building Surveyors, Conservation Officers and Structural Engineers at all levels - who get involved in the planning of re-use of existing buildings and in design and specification of works to historic buildings. Lay readers interested in building conservation, e.g. from amenity societies, campaigning for sympathetic and informed re-use of existing buildings.
