Masonry is a traditional, highly durable mode of construction; many
heritage masonry structures, built at various historical periods,
have survived, to a lesser or greater extent, adverse environmental
conditions, which have reduced, sometimes considerably, their
integrity, strength and durability. Due to the cultural
significance of heritage architecture, resources are today
allocated towards their restoration and conservation. This volume
comprises distinguished contributions from the Transactions of the
Wessex Institute describing research efforts towards achieving
these objectives. Topics covered include: Understanding of
constituent materials, modes of construction and overall mechanical
behaviour; Dynamic behaviour; Sonic pulse velocity tests;
Micro-vibration measurements; Failure mechanisms; Structural
strength assessment; Binding material mixtures; Composition and
properties of ancient mortars; Contemporary repair material;
Infra-red thermography measurements; Mortars, plasters, renders and
grouts. The various issues mentioned above are addressed by the
present collection of scientific papers with considerable insight
and thoroughness.It is thus hoped that this volume will fill a gap
in the literature as a valuable source of information and guidance
to researchers and engineers working in the area of restoration and
conservation of heritage masonry structures.
