Abstract
Discusses each stage of the appraisal of historic buildings with examples, and explains the differences in structural behaviour between new and existing structures. 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.
