Structural Appraisal of Traditional Buildings

This book is a comprehensive guide to the common causes of structural damage. It examines the techniques for collecting evidence including desk study, visual inspection, distortion survey, testing and ground investigation as well as offering advice on managing liability. Each appraisal is unique. A wide range of investigative techniques are described covering most of the circumstances that are likely to occur in practice. The second edition has been substantially re-written and includes new material on structural behaviour, initial appraisal, building types, use of iron in buildings, and the problems that occur with buildings built on clay. Written by P. Robson, the book is published in hardback by Donhead Publishing Limited and is priced at £39.50.
