Bücher der Reihe Building Pathology and Rehabilitation

This book presents acollection of recent research works that highlight best practice solutions,case studies and practical advice on the implementation of sustainableconstruction techniques.

This book addresses a range of topics concerning heat and mass transfer in particulate materials, synthesizing scientific and engineering in its discussion of innovations and trends in our understanding of drying and wetting in porous building materials.

This book presents the fundamentals of strengthening and retrofitting approaches, solutions and technologies for existing structures. Finally, it discusses issues related to standards and economic decision support tools for retrofitting.

This book provides a collection of recent research works, helping contribute to the systematization and dissemination of the latest findings on building pathologies (structural and hygrothermal), salt attack and corrosion, durability and service-life prediction.

This book offers a new calculation procedure of the structural behavior of grouped layout of silos, easy to use and with satisfactory responses. Groups of reinforced concrete silos are structures commonly used in the food industry, where it is usually necessary to separate the storage of different types and sources of grain.

This book presents a collection of recent research on building diagnosis techniques related to construction pathology, hygrothermal behavior and durability, and diagnostic techniques.

This book presents a collectionof recent research works intended to assist in theeffective management of service loss. It develops and evaluates methodologiesfor the assessment of defects and failures, and proposes methodologies forpreventing and mitigating building defects.
