Studies, repairs and maintenance of heritage architecture are
becoming increasingly important in modern society. The rapid growth
recently experienced in many regions of the world has added a
particular urgency to the need to preserve our built cultural
heritage. This requires the collaboration of different parties
including not only architects, engineers and scientists but also
artists, socio-economic professionals and all other stakeholders to
ensure the effective integration of the rehabilitated buildings
within the community. Comprising specially selected papers, this
book addresses a series of topics related to the historical aspects
and reuse of heritage architecture, as well as technical issues on
the structural integrity of different types of buildings.
Restoration processes require the appropriate characterisation of
materials, the modes of construction and the structural behaviour
of the building. Modern computer simulation can provide accurate
results demonstrating the stress state of the building and possible
failure mechanisms affecting its stability. Equally important are
studies related to their dynamic and earthquake behaviour, aiming
to provide an assessment of the seismic vulnerability of heritage
buildings. Of particular interest is the need for Heritage Building
rehabilitation to conform to energy consumption reduction goals
framed within climate change initiatives. It is necessary to
encourage actions to improve energy efficiency, harmonised with
both appropriate amounts of investment and transnational
commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
