Building renovation, conservation and reuse represents more than half of all
construction work - and is projected to increase to 80% by 2004. Structural
Renovation of Buildings, by Alexander Newman, puts the single, convenient source
of information about all aspects of structural renovation and strengthening of
buildings at your fingertips. While its focus is largely on low and midrise
buildings, you can apply the principles it clarifies to buildings of any size -
steel-framed, masonry, or wood. Whether you're repairing deteriorated
concrete, rehabilitating slabs on grade, strengthening lateral-load resisting
systems, renovating a building facade, or handling seismic upgrades or fire
damage, you'll find this time-and-trouble-saving guide loaded with practical
tips, methods, and design examples. It's also heavily illustrated with autoCAD
generated details, supplier illustrations of materials, procedural techniques,
and much, much more. 688 pp.
