Bøger i Building Pathology and Rehabilitation serien

Durability of Building Materials and Components provides a collection of recent research works to contribute to the systematization and dissemination of knowledge related to the long-term performance and durability of construction and, simultaneously, to show the most recent advances in this domain.

This book presents the fundamentals of strengthening and retrofitting approaches, solutions and technologies for existing structures. Finally, it discusses issues related to standards and economic decision support tools for retrofitting.

This book presents a collection of recent research on building diagnosis techniques related to construction pathology, hygrothermal behavior and durability, and diagnostic techniques.

This book addresses a range of topics concerning heat and mass transfer in particulate materials, synthesizing scientific and engineering in its discussion of innovations and trends in our understanding of drying and wetting in porous building materials.

This book presents acollection of recent research works that highlight best practice solutions,case studies and practical advice on the implementation of sustainableconstruction techniques.

This book presents a collectionof recent research works intended to assist in theeffective management of service loss. It develops and evaluates methodologiesfor the assessment of defects and failures, and proposes methodologies forpreventing and mitigating building defects.

This book highlights newdevelopments in the field of building pathology and rehabilitation, taking anin-depth look into current approaches to the surveying of buildings and thestudy of defect diagnosis, prognosis and remediation.

This present book describes the different construction systems and structural materials and elements within the main buildings typologies, and it analyses the particularities of each of them, including, at the end, general aspects concerning laboratory and in-situ testing, numerical modeling, vulnerability assessment and construction maintenance.

Collating the best recent research on the topic, this volume presents a new durability approach for historic buildings and aims to systematize and disseminate the latest knowledge related to construction pathology, hygrothermal behavior and durability.
