basic information
Historic buildings have undergone a long passage of time since their construction, and due to the differences in materials and construction methods used, the approaches for investigation and diagnosis applicable to modern typical buildings may not be applicable. This book compiles many useful technical materials regarding the necessary investigation items and methods when examining the structural safety of historic buildings, specifically focusing on reinforced concrete and brick structures, along with points of caution during the investigation. Additionally, it organizes literature from an academic perspective on the changes in properties of concrete, brick, mortar, and steel materials over time, as well as data from the achievements of Constech Co., Ltd.
