Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to develop, review, and report case histories of repair and restoration to damaged brick and stone masonry structures for the purpose of presenting many acceptable repair and restoration techniques in use today. It is designed to familiarize the reader with some solutions to masonry restoration as well as provide further reference material for more detailed study. The study is organized to give a background of each structure, the general climatological data for the area in which the structure is built, a description of the problems the structure was experiencing or the reason for the rehabilitation, a review of the solutions and techniques used to accomplish the restoration, and the performance to date of the repairs that were made. In several cases, additional research information on repair techniques and repair goals have been provided to supplement the data on the repair. The case histories have been chosen to give a broad review of different types of deterioration to brick and stone masonry construction and the chosen solutions. The cases reviewed cosmetic restorative work as well as structural restoration and structural upgrading to earthquake resistance standards.

Download or read book Conservation of Historic Brick Structures written by Norbert Baer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the widespread use of brick construction throughout the world, there has been no major investigation into its deterioration and durability. This book provides the results of a major international study led by West Germany which examines the causes of decay in addition to the treatment and methods of conserving brickwork and historic mortars. The deterioration mechanisms discussed cover bio deterioration, salt damage and the effects of air pollutants and moisture on masonry. Considerable attention is also devoted to historic mortars and renders, their analysis, behaviour under the stress of air pollution and the development of compatible modern formulations. Conservation methods for brick masonry, including de-salination, protective coatings and injection grouting are examined in detail. A useful and extensive range of case study material is also provided. This volume represents the most comprehensive, state of the art overview of the conservation of historic brick masonry, and will be an invaluable source of reference for all conservation practitioners and researchers working in this field.
