About the Book

This book looks deeper into the importance of the historical identity of a region, town or nation. It is clear that we have the necessity to look beyond borders and share experiences and knowledge regarding heritage preservation. This Volume contains papers covering the latest advances in this field, presented at the twelfth and latest in a series of now-biennial conferences that began in 1989. The series is recognised as the most important conference on the topic. It covers such topics as: Heritage Architecture and Historical Aspects; Assessment and Reuse of Heritage Buildings; Modern (19th/20th Century) Heritage; Structural Restoration of Metallic Structures; Regional Architecture Preservation and Monitoring; Stone Masonry Walls; Heritage Masonry Buildings; Earth Construction; Wooden Structures; Materials Characterisation; Non-destructive Techniques; Performance and Maintenance; Simulation and Modelling; Seismic Vulnerability.
