Heritage Masonry: Materials and Structures (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781845648398)

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.
