Book excerpt: The Masonry Society's "Guide for Condition Assessment of Masonry Facades" (Guide) is a living document that describes methodology for inspection and assessment of masonry facades. The Guide is useful to building owners, architects, engineers, and building officials as a valuable tool for masonry façade evaluations related to façade ordinances, restoration and repairs, maintenance programs, and due diligence reports. Starting with a discussion of the factors that affect masonry performance, the Guide continues through the process of masonry façade inspection and assessment with a flow chart and outline of the various tasks and elements of a facade assessment. The Appendix includes special attention on the topics of "Distress Common to Terra Cotta Facades" and "Assessment Techniques of In-Place Masonry". This version represents an update with a number of minor enhancements from the 2012 edition.

Download or read book Building Adaptation written by James Douglas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-08-11 with total page 673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As existing buildings age, nearly half of all construction activity in Britain is related to maintenance, refurbishment and conversions. Building adaptation is an activity that continues to make a significant contribution to the workload of the construction industry. Given its importance to sustainable construction, the proportion of adaptation works in relation to new build is likely to remain substantial for the foreseeable future, especially in the developed parts of the world. Building Adaptation, Second Edition is intended as a primer on the physical changes that can affect older properties. It demonstrates the general principles, techniques, and processes needed when existing buildings must undergo alteration, conversion, extension, improvement, or refurbishment. The publication of the first edition of Building Adaptation reflected the upsurge in refurbishment work. The book quickly established itself as one of the core texts for building surveying students and others on undergraduate and postgraduate built environment courses. This new edition continues to provide a comprehensive introduction to all the key issues relating to the adaptation of buildings. It deals with any work to a building over and above maintenance to change its capacity, function or performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Original building enclosures and past restorations and repairs to building facades require periodic evaluations to assess their safety, durability, performance, and aesthetics. Safety evaluations include review of gravity loads on terra-cotta cornices and seismic loads on stone anchors. Durability is a function of material properties such as permeability of sandstone or marble's dimensional stability. Performance requirements include watertightness of masonry, and aesthetics concern the selection of patching and replacement materials and sensitive design of structural strengthening.
