Conservation of Historic Brick Structures

Herausgeber: Baer, Norbert; Livingstone, R a; Fitz, S.

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Despite the widespread use of brick construction throughout the world, there has been no investigation into its deterioration and durability. This book provides the results of a major international study led by West Germany which examines the causes of decay in addition to the treatment and methods of conserving brickwork and historic mortars.
