Structural Restoration of Masonry Monuments

Arches, Domes and Walls.

This guide to structural assessment and restoration of masonry monuments and historical buildings outlines the techniques, materials and design procedures used in line with international guidance and standards. Particularly considering earthquake loading, it presents principles and practice with case studies.

Historic structures need to be restored in line with international guidance and charters developed by architects and archaeologists, but technical understanding of structural engineering and materials is crucial, particularly with respect to response to earthquake loading.
