About the Book

In developed nations, as much as 10% of the built environment is of sufficient cultural and historic importance to be given a local or national listing. At the international level, UNESCO maintains a World Heritage List that includes many stone monuments. The past two decades have witnessed a growing body of research about the fundamental mechanisms of damage to stone and to the development of strategies for the conservation of stone, yet virtually no research has been conducted on the economic role of stone buildings and structures as well as the valuation of cultural property. This volume examines the deterioration mechanisms for treated and untreated historically important stone. It suggests approaches to the study of deterioration mechanisms and remedial measures for treated and untreated stone.

Table of Contents:
Moisture Cycles and Stone Degradation; Biodeterioration; Risk Factors and their Management; Development of Air Pollution Damage Functions; Perspectives on Risks to Architectural Heritage; Structural Behaviour and Durability of Stone Masonry's; Nondestructive Test Methods Applicable to Historic Stone Structures; Methodologies for the Evaluation of Treatment Options; New Materials and Approaches for the Conservation of Stone; The Methods for the Evaluation of Stone Conservation Treatments; Ethical Considerations in the Selection of Treatment; The Conservation of Historic Stone Monuments and Environmental Policy; Aspects of Economic Valuation of Cultural Heritage; Managing Stone Monuments; Air Pollution Standards for Architectural Conservation.
