The concept of preventive conservation has successfully introduced
the knowledge that "prevention is better than cure" into the built
heritage sector. The benefits of this approach are the
cost-effectiveness, the improved protection of heritage values, the
reduced risk for accumulating deterioration and additional damage,
the prolongation of the physical service life of buildings and
building parts and the empowerment of local communities in dealing
with heritage. Increasingly, arguments rise against reactive
treatment patterns, which result too often in postponed
interventions and increasing costs for restoration.
WTA-Nederland-Vlaanderen, the Raymond Lemaire International Centre
for Conservation and the Civil Engineering Department of KU Leuven
jointly organised an international conference on preventive
conservation approaches - including climate and damage monitoring -
and how to implement these monitoring tools within a systemic
approach. The conference took place in context of the international
WTA days, 3-5 April 2019, and the 10th anniversary of the UNESCO
Chair on Preventive Conservation, Monitoring and Maintenance of
Monuments and Sites (PRECOM(3)OS). The contributions meet the
increasing demand for information, case studies and practical
examples to support the transition towards more preventive rather
than reactive conservation actions. The volume aims at academics
and professionals involved or interested in the conservation of
buildings, building parts and heritage.
Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions. Anamnesis,
diagnosis, therapy, controls contains the papers presented at the
10th International Conference on Structural Analysis of Historical
Constructions (SAHC2016, Leuven, Belgium, 13-15 September 2016).
The main theme of the book is "Anamnesis, Diagnosis, Therapy,
Controls", which emphasizes the importance of all steps of a
restoration process in order to obtain a thorough understanding of
the structural behaviour of built cultural heritage. The
contributions cover every aspect of the structural analysis of
historical constructions, such as material characterization,
structural modelling, static and dynamic monitoring,
non-destructive techniques for on-site investigation, seismic
behaviour, rehabilitation, traditional and innovative repair
techniques, and case studies. The knowledge, insights and ideas in
Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions. Anamnesis,
diagnosis, therapy, controls make this book of abstracts and the
corresponding, digital full-colour conference proceedings
containing the full papers must-have literature for researchers and
practitioners involved in the structural analysis of historical
constructions.
