About the Book

This book contains most of the papers presented at the Ninth International Conference on Structural Studies, Repairs and Maintenance of Heritage Architecture. The Conference was held in Malta, a state smaller than many of the cities that this Conference has visited, and yet that is packed, in the full meaning of the word, with a history of heritage architecture that spans nearly six millennia - as far as we currently know! The islands of Malta have limited material resources, in fact, only one - limestone, and a rather soft one at that. However, out of this resource, our ancestor builders have fashioned the habitat for their lives, as these unfolded and changed over the centuries. The problems and efforts that are being made to repair, restore, conserve and protect such limestone architectural heritage are considerable and mirror similar problems faced by other architects, engineers, curators, art historians, surveyors and archaeologists in other countries throughout the world.The papers featured are from specialists throughout the world and divided into the following topics: heritage architecture and historical aspects; structural issues; seismic behaviour and vibrations; seismic vulnerability analysis of historic centres in Italy; material characterisation; protection and preservation; maintenance; surveying and monitoring; simulation modelling; and case studies.

Table of Contents:
Section 1: Heritage architecture and historical aspects Urban planning and architecture of the historic city of Ghadames, Libya: lessons from the past for cities of the future; Construction and decay of the copper age tombs in Oman; Traditional adobe building practices in the historic city of Ghadames, Libya; Symbolic, architectonic and artistic decorations in structural elements in traditional architecture in Taiwan; Investigations and project hypotheses for the recovery and enhancement of the value of a military site: the case of the Ancona Citadel; Historical towers and fortified houses in central Greece; Tide mills: the route of one forgotten heritage; Know how to restore: construction techniques in Baroque Rome - practices, devices and "secrets"; Counterpoints and fugues: Le Corbusier's use of colour for the Factory Claude and Duval in St. Die; Valuing cultural heritage - lessons learned Section 2: Structural issues A comprehensive structural study of the Basilica of Pilar in Zaragoza (Spain); The evolution of architectural form and the formulation of mechanics; Re-readings: the design principles of remodelling existing buildings; Study on the stability of the Abbey of San Costanzo al Monte (Cuneo, Italy); Secant stiffness for no-tension masonry walls having a non-linear constitutive law; Load path method in the interpretation of masonry vault behaviour; A novel procedure for evaluating the rotational stiffness of traditional timber joints in Taiwan Section 3: Seismic behaviour and vibrations Numerical investigation of the behavior of the church of Agia Triada, Drakotrypa, Greece; Damage to masonry buildings due to the Aegion (GR) 1995 earthquake; Dynamic and seismic performance of a basilica-type church under earthquake loading: the Farneta abbey; Seismic vulnerability of monumental buildings in Switzerland; Seismic vulnerability study of historical buildings in Old Montreal: overview and perspectives; Evaluation of the dynamic characteristics of typical Inca heritage structures in Machupicchu; Preliminary evaluation of the seismic vulnerability of the Inca's Coricancha temple complex in Cusco; Vibration characteristics of the Bayon temple main tower, Angkor, Cambodia; Dynamic identification and model updating of the Howa brick chimney, Tokoname, Japan Section 4: Seismic vulnerability analysis of historic centres in Italy Methodologies for the vulnerability analysis of historic centres in Italy; Seismic behaviour of the historical structural system of the island of Lefkada, Greece; Study of the seismic vulnerability of complex masonry buildings; Application of a multidisciplinary investigation to study the vulnerability of Castelluccio (Umbria); Seismic vulnerability assessment and structural improvement proposals for the building typologies of the historic centers of Vittorio Veneto (Italy); Experimental and numerical study of multi-leaf masonry walls Section 5: Material characterisation Hygrothermal analysis of external walls within the reconstruction of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam; In situ non-destructive testing: the steel and concrete resistance assessment of "ancient" r/c structures; Characterisation of mechanical properties of historic mortars - testing of irregular samples; Evaluation of properties of magnesian lime mortar; Aging of reinforced mortars and concretes: coupled modeling; Experimental study for the consolidation of stone of old fortifications Section 6: Protection and preservation The challenges of protecting heritage architecture in developing countries from earthquake disasters; Rehabilitation of historical buildings "Evaluation of policies and project outcomes in the Middle East: the case of Egypt"; St. Dominic church waiting to be explored in the old town of Famagusta; Preservation, people, and politics in the restoration of the National Theatre of Panama: a case study; Reconstruction of the "Neues Museum" in Berlin - support structure planning pro preservation of historic buildings; Design and application of hydraulic grouts of high injectability for the structural restoration of the column drums of the Parthenon Opisthodomos; Thermal treatment of moisture damaged construction; The preservation and upgrading of historic metal truss bridges and the load carrying capacity; Cathodic protection of historic steel framed buildings Section 7: Maintenance Maintenance comments on a Persian historical wooden building; A programmed maintenance project for the archaeological area of Paestum; Recovery and maintenance of the building complex used for tobacco manufacture in Cava de' Tirreni; Maintenance and control of the transportation archaeology: structural evaluation of an historical suspension footbridge;
