The book presents the work of the RILEM Technical Committee
249-ISC. Addressing the effective application of new
recommendations for non-destructive in situ strength assessment of
concrete, it provides information about the different steps of the
investigation and processing of test results, until the delivery of
strength estimates, and includes tables giving the minimum required
number of cores in a variety of situations as well as several
examples of how the recommendations can be used in practice. The
book explores a topic which is of major importance, i.e. the
assessment of concrete compressive strength in existing structures.
This property (both mean and standard deviation) is a key input in
many cases, such as the reinforcement of structures, the safety
checking, the extension of service life. As the new RILEM
recommendations imply a deep revision (and improvement) of field
practice, the book is intended for managers of structures,
structural engineers and specialists of NDT that have to answer
these issues. More widely, it will benefit engineers and students
who are interested in NDT and in the safety analysis of structures.

This volume gathers the latest advances, innovations, and
applications in the field of structural health monitoring (SHM) and
more broadly in the fields of smart materials and intelligent
systems. The volume covers highly diverse topics, including signal
processing, smart sensors, autonomous systems, remote sensing and
support, UAV platforms for SHM, Internet of Things, Industry 4.0,
and SHM for civil structures and infrastructures. The
contributions, which are published after a rigorous international
peer-review process, highlight numerous exciting ideas that will
spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary
collaboration among different specialists. The contents of this
volume reflect the outcomes of the activities of EWSHM (European
Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring) in 2020.

The updated paperback edition of Weaver's landmark work—the essential manual on materials and procedures for restoring buildings Conserving Buildings, Revised Edition, is the ideal resource for anyone involved in the maintenance, restoration, or rehabilitation of historic buildings. The book combines practical information on the characteristics, composition, and deterioration of building materials with detailed coverage of state-of-the-art conservation methods, fully updated in this edition with current developments in research and practice. The book contains: - Systematic treatment of all major building materials—stone, ceramics, masonry, cement-based materials, metal, glass, synthetic resins, and polymers
- Valuable instruction on the restoration and renewal of foundations and footings, slate roofing systems, materials, and other structural details
- Easy-to-follow procedures for conducting structural building surveys
- Over 150 photographs and line drawings, plus case studies from Columbia University's acclaimed Center for Preservation Research
- Newly expanded references, with accessible sources of further information
Whether used as a hands-on sourcebook or a technical desktop reference, Conserving Buildings, Revised Edition, is the manual of choice for architects, engineers, preservation professionals, historic building owners, and students.
