About the Book

This book contains papers presented at the Eighth International Conference on Structural Studies, Repairs and Maintenance of Heritage Architecture (STREMAH). The pre-eminent conference series dealing with this area, the STREMAH meetings provide an ideal forum for architects, curators, engineers, art historians, surveyors and archaeologists to exchange opinions and experiences, present state-of-the-art scientific research and practical findings, and discuss problems and solutions. Over 80 papers are included and these cover topics such as: historical and architectural aspects; deterioration, protection and evaluation of materials; simulation and modelling; structural issues; prevention of structural damage; seismic behaviour; case studies; maintenance and repairs; material problems; and timber constructions. Contributions to two special sessions on the structural conservation of the archaeological heritage of Italy and long term behaviour of masonry structures: learning from failures, are also featured.
